> • Changed the name of the JWK RSA exponent parameter from exp to xpo so as to allow the potential use of the name exp for a future extension that might define an expiration parameter for keys. (The exp name is already used for this purpose in the JWT specification.)

"n" and "e" would be better than "mod" and "xpo".
"n" and "e" are very widely used for the RSA modulus and public exponent.

s^e = m mod n
