#18: Address MAC key lifetime concerns

Comment (by [email protected]):

 As I have argued before, it is my strong opinion that option (1) is the
 simpler thing to do.  There is no great complexity: The key wrapping
 mechanism is already defined in JWE, so this would simply apply it to JWS
 as well.

 Writing the proper considerations for option (2) would be much harder,
 because you have to specify what an OOB protocol needs to do.  (Easier to
 just write the protocol!) Option (2) would also fail to address a known
 security gap in the base protocol, which seems irresponsible.   This
 protocol needs to be secure without having to rely on something external.
