The proposal here is actually to *remove* complexity, especially for an
implementation that does both JWS and JWE.

In the current scheme, I have to do different things to prepare the JWS
Signing Input and the JWE Authenticated Data, even though they're both
(header + data) inputs to integrity protection.

    function createJWSSigningInput(serializedProtectedHeader, payload) {
      return b64enc(serializedProtectedHeader) +'.'+ b64enc(payload);
    }

    function createJWEAuthenticatedData(serializedProtectedHeader, aad) {
      if (aad.length > 0)
        return serializedProtectedHeader + "." + aad;
      else return serializedProtectedHeader;
    }

The proposal collapses these two into one function, which happens to have
an "if" statement.

    function createSigningInput(serializedProtectedHeader, payload) {
       if (serializedProtectedHeader.length > 0)
         return b64enc(serializedProtectedHeader) +'.'+ b64enc(payload)
       else return payload;
    }

So we're actually saving lines of code here (9 lines to 5 -- a 44%
reduction! :) ) and reducing the probability of interop problems by doing
similar things the same way.
