Surprise!  For the first time ever, I've released two sets of JOSE and JWT drafts in one day!  I wanted to separate the changes addressing recent AD comments<http://self-issued.info/?p=1240> from this set of changes that reduces duplication in the drafts.

These drafts replaced the terms JWS Header, JWE Header, and JWT Header with a single JOSE Header term defined in the JWS specification.  This also enabled a single Header Parameter definition to be used and reduced other areas of duplication between the specifications.  No normative changes were made.

The specifications are available at:

*        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature-29

*        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-encryption-29

*        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-key-29

*        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-29

*        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token-23

HTML formatted versions are available at:
