Dear authors & WG,

A question on the new -08 text regarding the /skg response:  the text indicates 
the following request & response

Client:
  POST /.well-known/est/skg
    Accept: TBD287
    Content-Format: 286

Server:
  2.04
  Content-Format: 62

So the client asks for 286, but gets 62 (which has 286 embedded in it as one of 
the parts). At first sight this appears incompatible with CoAP RFC7252 logic.
A strict server implementation might return 4.06 Not Acceptable since the 
server code has registered the response type to be 62; and the client asks 
something different.

Maybe the draft-ietf-core-multipart-ct should extend the semantics of “Accept” 
to cover this case?

(Or would we rather fall back to returning PKCS#7 always, within the multipart 
content.
It would be possible to define a /skg2 URI that returns the other multipart 
format.
Or we could even define a new content format TBD which encodes a multipart type 
including a TBD287, so the client can use the Accept Option as normal to 
request the wanted multipart type.)
