You are saying people shouldn't want what they want and since JSON has no standards for it you assume it won't happen. Not even X509 is interested in working with detached signatures.

> It does not matter whether your serialization is canonical or not if you don't need to parse the document before you've verified the signature on it.

It most certainly does. First or last duplicate key?

I am comfortable saying that, when designing a signature scheme, people should not want features that are known to consistently lead to catastrophic vulnerabilities.

When I look at JSON related crypto, say JWT or WebAuthn, I am (un)comfortable saying the CVE causing complexities are there but repeating and not consolidated on a standard layer.

I'm not sure why you take me for a JSON/JWT fan (I'm happy to agree they've had their own share of implementation bugs), or what that has to do with signature wrapping bugs in XML-DSig, which is what I've been talking about this entire time.
