New issue 492: EdDSA in FAPI 2.0
https://bitbucket.org/openid/fapi/issues/492/eddsa-in-fapi-20

Filip Skokan:

There are currently two JWS algorithms allowed in FAPI 2.0.

* PS256, which excels in its verification throughput, but not so much signing
* ES256, which excels at its signing throughput, but not so much verification

It would be beneficial if there was an algorithm allowed, that strikes a better balance between sign and verify throughput.

I am of course talking about [EdDSA](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8037) \(using Curve25519\), how does the WG feel about extending the list of allowed FAPI 2.0 JWS Algorithm with it?
