One example is when used as a signed request to the authorization server, as is 
done in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-requrl-05.

Hi Mike,

sticking with working group document is fine.

However, the first example does not make sense to me.
[maybe my brain is a bit empty at the moment]

When is a JWT signed by the client and then sent to the Authorization Server 
other than in the Assertion draft that I mention in the second example?

Ciao
Hannes
