It is certainly true that examples are not mandatory and that the JOSE
specs contain a number of examples.

Read through the document it came to my mind that the most common uses
of JWTs are actually not covered as part of the examples. Many readers
look at the examples to quickly get the idea and neither a JWT protected
using a MAC is there nor a JWT protected with a digital signature.

I will, however, get over it.

Ciao
