In thinking about the JWK parameter registry, I have a couple of 
questions/concerns.

1) Should JWK parameter names be absolutely unique, or are they potentially 
tied to a specific JWK type?  In looking at the specs to date, I think there's 
only one case where a parameter name is re-used ("d" for both private RSA and 
ECC keys); currently syntactically and semantically identical, but I'm not sure 
that's adequate.

2) Should JWK parameters be marked as private (confidential, secret, 
privileged, etc etc)?  The current documentation set loosely defines this only 
because they are current split between multiple documents.  However, I wonder 
if there is value in being much more explicit about it, including in a 
parameter's registration.


Thoughts?
