The discussion of modes has some issues:

- RFC9052 defines "Direct Encryption" mode, with conflicting meaning.
- There is no need to have two modes:

  Bulk encryption algorithms work on layer 0 (by definition). And by
  RFC9052 section 5.3, placing bulk encryption algorithm as recipient of
  an AEAD algorithm will cause it to encrypt the CEK instead of message.
