Due to the lack interest ("active disinterest") we have been advised to not pursue JCS through DISPATCH.

Personally I will continue with JCS in contexts like Open Banking since it obvious (based on existing practice) that Base64Url-encoding of business messages will continue to be a hard sell.  The ability simply taking a hash of a JSON object is also a pretty useful feature not supported by any IETF standard.
