The authors have gone back and forth between having integrated encryption
be specified in just alg (no enc), then alg, then enc. I agree with Richard
that having it in alg would be better. I also agree with Brian that it
would be violating the definition of "alg" as much as "int" in "enc" does
at the moment (and that's still better than re-using "dir" for that
purpose). But being the least bad of 4 bad options doesn't make it any less
bad as shown by the other reviews.

This example should exhibit Integrated Encryption but doesn't.

The ASCII table is not aligned properly.

This 100% (Bring on the squigglies /s)

I do not support publication in the current state. While its implementation
is certainly possible (but unlikely in a wider javascript ecosystem without
bundling wasm/pure js dependencies due to lack of Web API support for
HPKE), Integrated Encryption alg/enc values do not fit the current JWE
Header Parameter definitions amongst the other issues brought forth by Neil
and Richard.
