Dealing with JOSE nuances is not germane to this WG.

Yes, JOSE has failings -- pretty much all of which were pointed out
during the JOSE WG process, and dismissed at the time.  They are not
so bad, however, as to render JOSE as-is unusable.  Certainly the cure
described in draft-jones-jose-jws-signing-input-options is much worse
than the disease.  Either let's scrap JOSE and re-design more cleanly,
or let's just use it with the flaws it has.
