Adding COSE list to say... These labels will show up in the COSE registry
as well, but their length will not be an issue, since the assigned
integer will be used instead.

I'm supportive of shorter registered names if we can land them.

>From RFC7518 - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7518#section-1

"Names defined by this specification are short because a core goal is for
the resulting representations to be compact."

Later in, in the registration template:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7518#section-7.3.1

"Because a core goal of this specification is for the resulting
representations to be compact, it is RECOMMENDED that the name be short --
not to exceed 8 characters without a compelling reason to do so."
