Description

`JsonWebKey2020` is defined in https://w3c-ccg.github.io/lds-jws2020, quoting:
> This specification defines a cryptographic suite for the purpose of creating, verifying proofs for JSON Web Signatures in conformance with the Linked Data Proofs [LD-PROOFS] specification. [...] The JSON Web Signature signature suite 2020 MUST be used in conjunction with the signing and verification algorithms in the Linked Data Proofs [LD-PROOFS] specification.

In summary, `JsonWebKey2020` can only be used for validating linked data signatures, not JWS / JWT.

What am I missing? The README seems to suggest otherwise.
