Hi,

As for the questions mentioned on these slides:

1. "Is is '-cose+cbor' or '-cbor+cose'

The registry 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-type-structured-suffix/media-type-structured-suffix.xhtml
 lists the subtypes that one have after the '+' sign.
'cbor' is there but 'cose' is not. 'cwt' is also not there.

So for the moment, registering a 'mytype+cose' or 'voucher+cose' or 
'voucher-cbor+cose' is not possible now unless you would also register the 
'+cose' as a subtype.  RFC 9052 did not choose to register the subtype '+cose', 
for whatever reason.

Luckily because COSE is just "plain CBOR" itself , we can use the subtype 
'+cbor'. So having "voucher-cose+cbor" would be fine.    Also "voucher+cbor" 
would be equally ok albeit a little bit less informative that it contains COSE.


2. "are they sufficiently different"    (this is about 
application/voucher-cose+cbor and application/eat+cwt formats)

The voucher is not a CWT format, e.g. it does not use the standardized CWT 
claims at all. It defines an own format within the constraints of YANG CBOR, 
while CWT does not use any YANG semantics.

(Now converting the constrained Voucher format into a CWT based format would 
certainly be possible; but that's probably not the discussion intended by these 
slides.)

Esko

I guess we didn't get any time at COSE.
