Hi Anders I miss one thing I think.
If you take jwt or derivatives it signs/validates json without need of any normalization cause it mainly works on the raw payload. Is the issue you speak about being idempotent? If so what is the issue? while we use the same defaults it works, no? If not you need a business key which is quite common too since json order is never guaranteed too.
