Issue #15 http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/jose/trac/ticket/15 
<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/jose/trac/ticket/15>. suggests requiring 
that a key indicator, such as a "kid" field, be required in all JWS and 
JWE headers.Are use cases where key information is exchanged by means 
other than the JWS or JWE headers important?
