See thread at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcrypto/2014Jul/0033.html and following.  With bug 26303 fixed, this is now supported in Web IDL.

Comment 2 Mark Watson 2014-09-25 23:59:26 UTC 
I believe the following changes are required for this one:
- Algorithm normalization does not need to handle nullable / non-nullable members explicitly, IDL conversion will throw if required members are missing
- All non-nullable members IDL dictionaries need the 'required' keyword
- Nullable members of IDL dictionaries should be made non-nullable
- RSA-OAEP Encrypt and Decrypt operations must say what to do if the label member is not present (use the empty octet string)
- AES-GCM Encrypt/Decrypt s/if present and not null/if present/ etc.
- CONCAT KDF: explain what to do if publicInfo and privateInfo are not present (use the empty octet string)

There are several additional changes needed in HMAC also.
