Research direction

Start at algorithms/x25519.js:74 and review commit c6899ee, where the current key-type check was added. Determine how staticPublicKey currently accepts LD keys and what JWK compatibility should require. Done means the supported formats and validation behavior are agreed and the implementation is covered by appropriate tests.
