So, just so we're clear on what we're talking about, the proposal would be
something like the following?

1. Have one/two fields in JWE/JWS that can hold a reference a [JW]Key,
namely "kid" and/or "jku"
2. Move the other key labeling fields under JWK, namely "x5u", "x5t", "x5c"
3. Keep the "jwk" field in JWE/JWS to contains the JWK, possibly with
identifiers from (2)

For that matter, I would be OK moving "kid" inside the JWE/JWS "jwk"
parameter as well, and just having a "jwk" element at the top level.
