Not having support for multiple audiences is semantically a non-starter.  There 
are some differences in CWT from JWT that are intentional (such as binary key 
IDs) to better align CWT with COSE, but this particular divergence is 
unacceptable.

My conclusion is that I will need read CWT line-by-line before Singapore and 
compile a list of such problems that have somehow made it into the spec.  I was 
(apparently naively) assuming it was aligned, but apparently that's not the 
case.

Thanks for catching this, Hannes!

The downside of that change is the following:
 * Misalignment with the JWT, and
 * If you want to use the CWT token with multiple audiences then you have to 
request&create a new token for each audience.
