All,

We reviewed draft-ietf-cose-webauthn-algorithms-01 and only have pair
of comments about the security considerations.

Regarding section 5.3:

While section 5.2 refers to RFC7518's guidance, currently 5.3 does
not. Perhaps note in 5.3 something akin to "if you have an existing
implementation, the exponent restrictions from RFC7518 also apply."

Regarding section 5.4:

The first sentence uses the FIPS186-3 form P-256 when everything else
in this document would imply we'd refer to it as secp256r1, though
rfc8152bis uses the P-256 form. Perhaps all readers of this document
would be able to avoid confusion, but since it's a section _about_
confusion, it seems worth pointing out. Perhaps a parenthetical could
be added?
