There's currently no actual case where the JWE Initialization Vector or JWE
Integrity Value can be empty, because an Initialization Vector is used for all
the defined "enc" algorithms - (CBC, GCM) and all of them have an integrity
value.
However, this could be true for future algorithms. Is that what you're
thinking?

Subject: [jose] JWE -06: Terminology - JWE IV and integrity value
Thank you guys for pushing the updates specs out.
Regarding JWE -06 section 2. Terminology:
It could be helpful to mention for "JWE Initialization Vector" and "JWE
Integrity Values" that these can also be empty, like said for "JWE Encrypted
Key".
