Bug 27562 - Odd wording of section "2.7. Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE)"

Bug 27562:

2.7. Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) ¶

A web application wishes to make use of the structures and format of messages defined by the IETF Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) Working Group. The web application wishes to manipulate public keys encoded in the JSON key format (JWK), messages that have been integrity protected using digital signatures or MACs (JWS), or that have been encrypted (JWE).

The style of this paragraph doesn't fit with the preceding ones, and not entirely sure how to parse it. Whereas the preceding sections describe concrete use cases, this one seems to be talking about the emotional state of a web application...

The style is not all that out-of-line with preceding use-cases. They could all do with some improved wording.

I took a stab at cleaning this up in #108. I left the "emotional state of the web application" stuff intact, since discussing it in terms of the web application conveniently sidesteps questions about who the decision-making actor is (it's not always the web application developer either).

Looks good to me @bdhess
