What does "deterministically encoded form of a CBOR sequence" mean? A
sequence where each element is using Core Deterministic Encoding from
RFC8949?

Nitpick: The layer numbering in COSE starts from zero, not one.

Otherwise looks pretty sensible from COSE PoV.

And I get the feeling that section 3.2 could be written in a lot cleaner
way.


And hopefully spec defining use of HPKE in COSE will be out soon...
