I'm not entirely sure that your argument is relevant to the issue. As I understand it, the benefit of custom attributes is that they would be managed by the API, in the sense that, say the API enforces the immutability of the 'exportable' attribute today. That sort of thing would not be possible through custom key storage. More generally, it seems to me that unless we define a distinction between certain classes of attributes (such as the above), then we should either have fully customizable attributes or no attributes, not the immutable partial list we have now. --Richard On Jan 31, 2013, at 2:06 PM, Ryan Sleevi <sleevi@google.com> wrote: > http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/track/issues/17 > > I would like to propose that ISSUE-17 be closed.
