While HPKE doesn’t actually seem to have versions, I would be OK with this, as 
it makes it quite clear that we do not need to jam any revision of HPKE into 
the same algorithm-ID (*).

(Note that the “version-label” that is used in used in LabeledExtract() and 
LabeledExpand() but not otherwise defined in RFC 9180 is "HPKE-v1”, so we 
probably should keep that second dash in there, even if it actually is just 
human-readable information in the registry.)

(*) well, unless we want to make a forward-compatible (**) revision work with 
old systems.  But we can cross that bridge if we ever get to it.

(**)
* Backward compatibility = old data, new system.
* Forward compatibility = new data, old system.
