Not to be a jerk (I promise!), but is there documentation of the TEEP issues with using JWS/JWE structure?

The existing specs seem to use JOSE as-is, I didn’t immediately see anything on the ML or in GitHub issues. 

It is difficult to fairly argue a specific desired solution to a non-disclosed problem set. Especially when so many people have battle scars from implementing that solution in the past.
