This would allow the PAR endpoint to simply stash the encrypted request object instead of decrypting and validating it. All within the bounds of "SHOULD - We’d like you to do this, but we can’t always require it". This supports "light weight PAR" implementation rather than introducing the unnecessary complexity in the form of a second JWKS.
