#17: add 'aud' and 'iss' to 4.1 Reserved Header Parameter Names


Comment (by rlb@ipv.sx):

 I agree with Mike that these don't really belong in the core JWE/JWS
 specs.

 I would suggest we address this issue more generally, by creating an IANA
 registry of reserved parameter names, with a fairly liberal inclusion
 policy.  That registry could have a field to indicate whether JOSE
 implementations are REQUIRED to support a given parameter (MTI
 parameters).  (Note that this is different from whether a JOSE object is
 REQUIRED to contain a parameter.)  Perhaps we could have optional
 parameters under a fairly liberal policy (e.g., Specification Required),
 with a higher bar for MTI parameters (e.g., Standards Action).

 If we set up the registry in this way, then Dick could write a short
 Informational document that would register these fields.
