True, but, is there any harm in making the term clearer as well? I don't see one...

The meaning of "Prohibited" is already clear. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-18#section-7.1.1 says:

Any identifiers registered for non-authenticated encryption algorithms

or other algorithms that are otherwise unsuitable for direct use

as JWS or JWE algorithms must be registered as "Prohibited".

I don't think a change is needed.

Yes, I think it would be clearer to change or quality the term. "JWK only" or "Key Transport Only" or "Prohibited for JWE/JWS" could all work.

FYI, the WebCrypto registrations are not in the Editor's Draft at https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/raw-file/tip/spec/Overview.html, though there remains the question of whether we could register an Array format instead of a string for JWK, as per my earlier mail (comments please!).

Minor question before I close this bug.

Is there any sentiment to use a term that is not quite as "nasty" as "Prohibited" in the registration record. Specifically something along the lines of "Key Transport Only".
