COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Charlie Kaufman for their secdir review (his nits still exist in the
draft, btw).

Section 4.1, 8.2.2:  I don't love the fact that the registry called 'COSE
Verifiable Data Structures' is actually an algorithm registry - super
confusing.  Moreover, the description in the registration template in Section
8.2.2 says nothing about algorithms.  In section 4.1, there is a sentence that
calls it 'a registry of verifiable data structure algorithms'.  Can we change
the name of the registry to that?

Section 7:  While I think it is probably too early for this, it might be wise
to have a post quantum section here warning of an eventual shift in algorithms.
 Depending on how long the proofs and receipts are expected to be valid will
determine how soon an algorithm migration should be considered.  I would be
happy to help write it if that is helpful.  Note:  I would expect that this
includes both the hash (currently only SHA-2 256 is registered) and the
signatures.

Authors:  A nit...  Will Orie change his contact details before publication? 
Seems like it might be better in the long run.
