For querying / selecting JWKs from a set this would have been a useful
addition to the spec.

But I don't see how such an URL can help us to identify a single JWK in
a set, given the possibility to have multiple JWKs with the same "kid".

I.e. if we do "https://example.com/jwks.json?kid=xyz";, there is no
guarantee for a single key. Even if we add additional query params, like
use, alg, etc, none of them guarantees a unique JWK identification.

I like the utility of that though.
