Hi Russ,

Thank you for your comments.

I have started to apply them here:

I took your suggestion.

I tried to clarify this with restructuring.

The AKP key type, and its thumbprint computation are generic, and can be
used with any COSE or JOSE key that has "pub", and "alg".

This is similar to how the Ed25519 and Ed448 keys both use OKP, and compute
thumbprints the same way.
Instead of keeping the reference to SLH-DSA or adding a reference to HPKE (
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-reddy-cose-jose-pqc-hybrid-hpke-06#section-5.1
)

I ended up removing the reference and adding some explanatory text.

Done, although it's debatable if what I wrote is enough.

differently.

I removed this sentence, but the reason it was there is related to your
comment which I addressed regarding the introduction.
