    <thetext>When importing/exporting keys, some parameters will always be respected (eg: &quot;alg&quot; in JWK, the Algorithm OID in SPKI/PKCS8), but other parameters MAY be ignored.

For example:
- When importing JWK, unknown parameters are ignored, rather than fatal.
- When importing SPKI/PKCS8, some parameters in the algorithm field may not be checked:
  - For example, the saltLength field of the RSASSA-PSS-params is not checked, nor is the trailerField

This is mostly to call attention to the fact that some parameters are explicitly NOT handled, and not simply spec omissions.</thetext>
