> 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.
