We currently use both the spki and pkcs8 key export/import formats in
code that is intended for production use in the near future. If they
are dropped we will have to manipulate the data to and from JWK
format. We can do that, but we'd rather have as much crypto code be in
the API, not our application, as possible.

I hope that other user agent developers speak up on this. The only one
I've seen is Google, and they are willing to support #1. We'd have to
infer that the others' silence means that they won't support it, but
it would be nice to at least hear that directly if it's the case.
