Thank you Mike for updating the spec. I verified the -09 JWS examples,
the HMAC check passes.

The examples now include the "crit" header, but the requirement for
"crit" and why it's needed appears much later in the spec, in section
six. Do you think the "Using crit with b64" section could be moved up,
just before the "Examples" section?

Happy holidays,

Vladimir
