Re: [dispatch] JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) Proposal

I like this work and would like it to move forward.  A use case I have is the recording system for emergency calls.  Everything is recorded and the recorded data is used real time as history of an incident, rather than retaining it both in some temporary system and in the main recording system.  That means that the recording system is frequently consulted real time as the incident progresses.  Signatures are used throughout, primarily for non-repudiation.  You only validate the signature months after the event, when lawyers want to make sure transcripts are accurate.  Having to do more work to get the data is not desirable. 

I will review, comment and participate actively in this effort.

After listening to and working through most of the concerns that were raised, there seems to be some significant interest and use-cases for moving this work forward.
