Ditto for an X.509 certificate, but they do.

We must differentiate between data transferred in a format for computers
to process, and tools that render data in a human readable format. X.509
software providers screwed up badly in providing good GUIs for
displaying X.509 certificates. Lets hope that JOSE software providers do
a much better job. If they do, the transfer format is not that
important. If they dont, then a transfer format that is human readable
becomes highly desirable
