Here is some info about open source projects:

Apache Oltu has a good support for working with JWT, believe Spring 
Security has it (I haven't tried) and JBoss KeyCloak team works with 
JWT, work for supporting JWT Bearer is in progress in Apache CXF (a 
month or so away).

There will be a pretty good coverage for it...

Due to the use of the JSON-based encoding of the assertion it also relies on the work in the JOSE working group (such as JWE/JWS) indirectly through the use of the JWT. This document has intentionally been kept in sync with the SAML-based version.

For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here.
