The proposed resolutions below have been incorporated in the -34 draft. The
actual text addressing the "kid" string comparison issue is in an expanded JWS
Section 5.3. Hopefully you can clear your DISCUSS on that basis.
"makes sense" in the designated expert instructions was changed to "description
is clear" in all drafts.
Thanks again,
-- Mike
