I've noticed that both payswarm and webid seem to be RSA public key
oriented.

However, ripple and bitcoin, seem to be DSA oriented, in particular, ECDSA

I've put in a patch to the webid ontology so that we can model both DSA and
RSA keys

Is this already built in to web keys via the PEM notation, or is it
something that might be added?
