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.
