Every JOSE Java library I have seen constructs and deconstructs RSA and EC keys
based on JWK definitions.  Maybe we don't need XDH keys but it would be nice to
hear what the solution would be without such.

Then there's lot of stuff out there like this which also needs some
explanations on how to enhance with RFC7748 on board:

Object myOwnEncrypt(PublicKey publicKey) throws SecurityException {
    if (publicKey instanceof RSAKey) {
      // RSA
    } else {
      // It should be EC
    }
}

CC:ing the creator of OKP keys.
