Hi, COSE people,

We want to transport DICE [0] certificate chains in CMWs [1], and for
that, we need a media type.

Note that DICE certificate chains differ semantically from standard
X.509 certificate chains in that they also represent attestation
Evidence [2].  Therefore, using
* application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type="certs-only"
* application/cose-x509; usage=chain, and
* application/pkix-pkipath
would provide too coarse typing information, so we'd like to improve this.

One way would be to extend the application/cose-x509 "usage" parameter
to include the value "dice-chain", i.e., application/cose-x509;
usage=dice-chain.

Would that be acceptable?  If so, what steps need to be taken to
register the new parameter value?
Do we need a specification, and if so, what kind? Or is a request to
the media-types list sufficient?

cheers, thanks in advance!
