Major issues:

 

Minor issues:

 

Nits/editorial comments:

1.	In the introduction "This document defines how those are to be used
algorithms in JOSE in interoperable manner." Change to "This document
defines how to use those algorithms in JOSE in interoperable manner."
2.	Section 1 "This document defines the conventions to be used" change
to "This document defines the conventions to use"
3.	I find the sentence "(Trying to apply ECDSA to those curves leads to
nasty corner-cases and produces odd   results.)"  may need some explanation
or reference.
4.	In the last paragraph of section 1 you have "the" twice.
