#73: Section 3.4 - "kid" (Key ID) Parameter

 A. The interpretation of the "kid" value is unspecified. --- This sentence
 has always lead to problems for me.  I don't have the foggiest idea of
 what this means.  I think what you really mean to say is 'The content of
 the "kid" value has no defined semantic meaning.  The "kid" value could be
 a hash of a key, a pointer to the key on the users machine, a user
 selected value or any other method.'

 B.  When can kid values within a JWK set not be unique - this needs to be
 spelled out

 C. In the last paragraph - I have big problems with the "can be used" - I
 would expect that they are used.  As currently written, it would appear
 that maybe they could be used to match some other parameter in the header.
