It is trivial to define a CBOR-based serialization of the JWP compact form, replacing the base-64 armor by a CBOR sequence of strings (or arrays of strings for ~). Having both means that one can have a URL-safe form (base64url + ./~) and a media-type (CBOR sequence). I didn’t manage to write the document yet, but it’s really trivial (and, like, three lines of code). A true CWP would also get rid of base64 throughout the building of inputs for the cryptography.
