Any thought on using POLYVAL instead of GMAC?

Subject: [EXT] [COSE] AES-GMAC in COSE 

All, 
I was looking in the COSE algorithms registry [1] for any existing allocations 
for GMAC uses but don’t see any. My reason for looking was that in some 
hardware-accelerated environments AES-GCM is faster than HMAC processing, so a 
GMAC would also benefit from the acceleration. 
I expect that a COSE use of AES-GMAC would look similar to the use in CMS [2] 
except that COSE algorithms typically combine options like authentication tag 
size into a single code point, so an initial thought would be max-length tags 
like: AES-GMAC 128/128, AES-GMAC 192/128, AES-GMAC 256/128 

Would there be WG interest in allocating GMAC algorithms in the near-term time 
supporting max-length tags? 
Thanks, 
Brian S.
