I have tested my COSE HPKE implementation against Orie's implementation and successfully tested HPKE-7 and HPKE-7-KE in all variants (i.e. with and without externally provided aad and info). I will test other ciphersuites as soon as those algorithm implementations become available.

As an insight from those tests I will update the examples in the draft by adding externally provided aad and info. I will do this asap.

Regarding the JOSE HPKE I have tested my implementation against Filip Sokan's implementation for HPKE-0, HPKE-1, HPKE-2, HPKE-3 and HPKE-7 worked (and the corresponding key encryption modes). I also verified the examples in the draft.

In a nutshell: I believe the documents are in good shape.

I believe this specification is ready for publication. It incorporates substantive working group feedback and I believe embodies solid consensus decisions.  There are multiple independent interoperable implementations.

It is well aligned with the JOSE HPKE specification https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jose-hpke-encrypt/.

There are other specifications waiting for this one to finish.

Let's get it done!
