Has there been a proposal for a way that is none of the following?


1) Systematic embedding of the ciphersuite (internal HPKE term)
identifiers into alg. 


2) Creating some sort of special procedure to allow registering new
algorithms for ciphersuites just specifying the HPKE identifer values.


3) Not allowing adding new ciphersuites. Any new ciphersuites would
require a new version of COSE-HPKE.


I'm drawing a blank trying to think a way that is none of the above
three (even after re-reading the alg discussion thread).


Every other user of HPKE I am aware of is either not using ciphersuites
(most), or is not mixing HPKE ciphersuites with non-HPKE stuff (MLS),
so this kind of thing never even comes up.
