You are absolutely correct, this is one of huge bunch of proposals:

The intention with my message was rather highlighting the mismatch between JOSE
and schemes like the one proposed which (IMO) motivates a renewed JOSE activity
along the lines I have previously described.

After the recent revelations about ES6 and its implementation in some very popular
platforms this seems to be even more useful than I originally thought.  None of
that information and use-cases were at hand when JOSE started.
