I have just implemented support for Edwards curves in my JSON library.

Although it is certainly not a deal-breaker I find the use of "EdDSA" as a 
generic Edwards algorithm identifier rather quirky since it departs from the other JWS 
algorithms:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8037#appendix-A.4

For curiosity reasons I took a peek at the initial draft which has (in my 
opinion...) a more logical solution:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-liusvaara-jose-cfrg-curves-00#appendix-A.4

May I ask why this change was performed?

For JSF (JSON Signature Format) I will stick to the "00" scheme which also 
permits use of ed25519ph and friends if needed:

thanx,
Anders
