Hi Jonathan,
hi all,

as long there is no hard concern about including a proposed improvement to countersignature V2 (with respect to interoperability considerations), I'd be in favor of adding the array container as the default. I actually think that will safe us from a lot of tweaks in the future.

Viele Grüße,

Henk

OK, that seems to work, but it somehow feels wrong since then you couple 
multiple layers together during decoding. What's the disadvantage of always 
making it an array? Is this about the one extra byte in the case of a single 
countersignature?

If more people than the two of us share that bellyache, maybe we can still

I don't have a strong opinion on whether countersignature V2 should be
changed to be always an array.  Although version 2 countersignatures
were designed to be backwards compatible with the original
countersignature definition, they are to be assigned a new code-point
so I cannot see how it would technically be a breaking change with
legacy implementations.
