Roman,

I think you can close your discuss.  The latest version of the document has 
trimmed out everything to do with countersignatures except that there was one 
previously and it has been dropped from this document and put into a new 
document.

Jim

DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Are the wrong data structures being referenced or did I misunderstand something?

** Section 5.  Per “Abbreviated counter signatures use the structure 
COSE_Countersign1”, this doesn’t seem consistent with the more detailed 
write-up in Section 5.2 which says that “The byte string representing the 
signature value is placed in the CounterSignature0 attribute”.  The document 
makes no other reference to COSE_Countersign1.

The shepherd write-up notes that ‘one item to note is the decision to keep the 
context string "COSE_Countersign1" for abbreviated countersignatures’. 
However, I found no such reference in Step 1 of Section 4.4 (page 22) which 
enumerated the possible strings.

** What is the intended name of the structure for the Counter Signature -- is 
it COSE_Countersignature or COSE_Countersign?

-- Table 1, Section 2, Section 4.4 and Section 5.1 (to include the CDDL) 
reference COSE_Countersignature

but
-- Section 5. Per “Full counter signatures use the structure COSE_Countersign …”

-- Section 5.1.  Per “A tagged COSE_Countersign structure …”
