Payload Compression

[panva]

I think it would be useful if payload compression was possible with e.g. using a c suffix (v1c.[purpose].).

One compression algorithm (raw inflate/deflate, brotli, gzip) would be used?

Payload processing for these versions would change to

• serialize JSON
• deflate
• sign or encrypt

or

• verify or decrypt
• inflate
• JSON parse

This is technically possible today if a library exposes a raw payload construct but this approach lacks negotioation between the issuer and recipient that compression is used.
