It is in the JWT spec.   You can do it both ways however you really need a good 
reason not to sign then encrypt, and then after you have a good reason you 
should still sign then encrypt because you probably have not considered 
everything,

There are probably some edge cases that are exceptions to the rule, but they 
are rare.
