Rename Crypto -> SubtleCrypto, placing it in window.crypto.subtle
One of the ongoing points of feedback/confusion is regarding the exposure of low-level algorithms to web developers. Some view this as an inherently dangerous proposition, because web developers can't or don't understand cryptographic tradeoffs. However, such a low-level interface is necessary to support a variety of web applications, including applications or libraries that provide secure high-level compositions. Because protocols vary in requirements, and because these compositions vary in implementation, a low-level API is necessary to support them. However, to make it clearer to developers that this is subtle and easy to get wrong (just like any other aspect of development, if not more so), move the existing Crypto interface into SubtleCrypto.
