If we do not care about this, we can just make them "RSASSA-PSS" and "EdDSA". We've always treated the extension name in a case-insensitive way but this needs some debugging.
Is the block file extension just the old FAT 8.3 filename format? Is
there something requiring we have an extension or that it be three or
fewer? I'd prefer we just have no extension, or if having some
extension make sense, I'd prefer the full name.

Does that make it different than other algorithms that require the
parameters to be set? It sounds like something for the man page and
treated as a doc update in the CSR if I understand the situation correctly.
