Nat Sakimura<http://nat.sakimura.org/> and I have updated the JSON Web Key (JWK) Thumbprint draft to incorporate feedback receiving during JOSE working group last call.  Changes were:

*         No longer register the new JSON Web Signature (JWS) and JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Header Parameters and the new JSON Web Key (JWK) member name jkt (JWK SHA-256 Thumbprint) for holding these values.

*         Added security considerations about the measures needed to ensure that a unique JWK Thumbprint value is produced for a key.

*         Added text saying that a base64url encoded JWK Thumbprint value could be used as a kid (key ID) value.

*         Broke a sentence up that used to be way too long.

The specification is available at:

*         https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint-02

An HTML formatted version is also available at:

*         http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint-02.html

                                                                -- Mike
