The other response is to generate the more detailed output that you can
possibly do.  So if  an X9.42 is imported then the same thing should be
exported as well.

Why not follow the credo of "Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in
what you accept"?

 

In other words, what if WebCrypto accepts either OID but only produces a
specific one on export (we could pick the more specific one except when
doing so significantly impacts compatibility)?
