Good stuff Mike

Having an explicit error message for "unsupported_alg" might be useful for this 
spec.  I doubt all implementations will implement all the algs in the JWT spec.

I've just published an OAuth JWT Bearer Token Profile 
<http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-oauth-jwt-bearer.html> .  It defines 
a means of using a JSON Web Token (JWT) bearer token to request an OAuth 2.0 
access token.  This profile is intentionally strongly based upon the SAML 2.0 
Bearer Assertion Grant Type Profile for OAuth 2.0 
<http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-oauth-saml2-bearer-03.txt>  by Brian 
Campbell and Chuck Mortimore; it borrows some text from the SAML profile with 
their permission.  Thanks Brian and Chuck, for supporting the writing of this 
profile and for your reviews of preliminary drafts.

The profile draft is available at these locations:

new versions as they are posted)

new versions as they are posted)
http://svn.openid.net/repos/specifications/oauth/2.0/ (Subversion repository, 
with html, txt, and html versions available)

I will also submit this as a formal Internet draft after the IETF tool re-opens 
for submissions (on March 28th).
