Subject: [jose] Feedback request on jose tracker issue #8: Should we add a "spi" 
header field?

Issue #8 http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/jose/trac/ticket/8 proposes     adding an 
“spi” (security parameters index) header parameter to the     JWS and JWE 
specifications.  This modification to the JOSE formats     would allow for 
signaling that pre-negotiated cryptographic     parameters are being used, 
rather than including those parameters in     the JWS or JWE header.  This 
proposal has been written up as 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-barnes-jose-spi-00. 

 
Which of these best         describes your preferences on this issue?
1.  Have         draft-barnes-jose-spi remain a separate specification that 
could         optionally also be supported by JWS and JWE implementations.
2.  Incorporate draft-barnes-jose-spi         into the JWS and JWE 
specifications as a mandatory feature.
3.  Incorporate         draft-barnes-jose-spi into the JWS and JWE 
specifications as an         optional feature.
4.  Another         resolution (please specify in detail).
0.  I need more         information to decide.Your reply is requested by Friday, 
April       19th or earlier.
