Hi Mike
Thanks for the clarification, indeed it all makes sense now (I would
like to think a bit more about JWT as JWS JSON, will send a separate
email if anything relevant comes to mind).
Cheers, Sergey

Hi Sergey,
Actually, the JWT restriction to only using the compact serialization is already in the
JWT spec itself. The last sentence of the first paragraph of the introduction at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-1 says "JWTs are always represented using
the JWS Compact Serialization or the JWE Compact Serialization". The new text in
the JWS Unsigned Payload Option spec just adds the restriction that JWTs are to continue
to use RFC7515 as written - base64url encoding the JWT claims as they always have been -
for interop purposes.
That doesn't mean that other applications can't use JWS to sign detached unencoded JSON
payloads with the "b64":false option using either JWS serialization.
Does that address what you were thinking about or do you still have concerns?

Hi, thanks for adding the JWS JSON (flattened serialization) example,
I thought the earlier text was also clear about having to use the detached
payloads in case of JWS Compact.
Re the new JWT restriction.
I know JWT is meant to be used primarily in OAuth2 contexts as a token or grant
(or as one of token or grant property) representation and hence it is JWS
Compact.
But I wonder, should this particular text effectively block the possible future
use of JWT in (JWS JSON) message payloads...
Cheers, Sergey

You can't use an unencoded non-detached JSON payload using the JWS Compact Serialization because it
uses characters that aren't URL-safe, such as "{". For that reason, the spec now makes
it clear that JWTs cannot use the "b64":false option.
You *can* use JSON payloads with the JWS JSON Serialization. Any double-quote characters in the JSON
would have to be quoted - typically using \" - so that the double-quotes don't terminate the
"payload" value. See the new section

Hi, can you please add an example showing a b64 header affecting JWS JSON
payload ? I can imagine how it will look like but it is good to see an example
that can be tested locally...
