RSA needs to distinguish between RSA keys with different OIDs and parameters #17
Description
WebCrypto requires implementations to be able to distinguish between the OIDs rsaEncryption, sha1WithRSAEncryption, sha256WithRSAEncryption, sha384WithRSAEncryption, sha512WithRSAEncryption, id-RSAES-OAEP and id-RSASSA-PSS, and for the last two, we even need access to the ASN.1 parameters.
This is currently not possible using the KeyObject API.

Similar for EC and (in the future, not part of webcrypto yet) OKP keys, you'll need the curve name from the key too.

@panva The curve name would have been part of my original proposal in nodejs/node#26854, I guess we could use a similar pattern for the other OIDs / parameters.
Another problem is that WebCrypto requires the ability to export keys with a different OID than they were imported with, so we would need to implement some kind of conversion.
