#19: JWA needs to specify an IV for use with JWE AES Key Wrap

Comment (by [email protected]):

 It turns out that RFC 5649 is actually unambiguous about this:
 """
       [If the input is not exactly 8 bytes long...]
       Otherwise, apply the wrapping process specified in Section 2.2.1
       of [AES-KW2] to the padded plaintext {P[1], ..., P[n]} with K (the
       KEK) and the AIV as defined in Section 3 above as the initial
       value.
 """

 So it seems like there's a third course of action here, namely:

 (c) Upgrade the reference to RFC 3394 to reference RFC 5649 instead.

 That would also allow us to process inputs that are not 64-bit aligned.
