Ah.  I just wanted to mention that contaminating the SCITT space with actual 
SSH signatures would not be a good idea (even if these were meant for 
developers only, they will leak out, and cause interoperability issues till the 
end of the universe).

Using SSH keys as a text-based (diagnostic/debugging) encapsulation of keys and 
key pairs is probably innocuous.   We need to define what should usually come 
with the various kinds of keys (e.g., certificates) or key pairs; the SSH 
format won’t have that, while the COSE key containers can easily be extended 
with them.
