I think we should not specify only that a JSON serialisation be
used.  We SHOULD NOT specify that flattened must be used.  Many JOSE
libraries do not care and will decode either JSON representation as
long as it is valid.  Many JOSE libraries would not even provide a
knob to tell it to admit only the flattened serialisation (or vice
versa).

If the intent is to require that exactly one signature is used, then
just say that.
