“property order and textual representation of elements” would be important within the “signedContent”. Hmmm...

If the IETF committees don’t have the will to fix the bad practice of modifying signed content after it has been signed, a custom solution is our own path forward.  JWS isn’t viable for us.  We don’t want to create custom solutions.  We would much rather work with established standards.  But, we may have no choice in this case.  Our code would be open source.
