The reason for omitting the private key registrations at this time is that that
their representations are still being debated, in a discussion including both
the COSE and LAMPS working groups. See the thread
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cose/9F54S32Xgn_zOdU_oFjnXQta-nE/ (which
I need to reinvigorate to try to drive it to a conclusion).
Wearing my COSE chair hat, I didn't request registration of the values that
might change. That said, it's very useful for people to be able to start
implementing using the ML-DSA public key representations.

Subject: Re: [COSE] Request for early allocation of values defined in
draft-ietf-cose-dilithium
(JOSE review)
The "alg" values (section-8.1.7) are good to go.
An early allocation just for the JWK "kty" value and "pub" parameter (Given the
request to omit "priv"and "seed" from section-8.1.8) would make an incomplete
JWK representation and would in my opinion diminish the value of such
allocation. Thoughts?

Dear IANA,
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cose-dilithium/ defines identifiers
needed for interoperable use of the post-quantum ML-DSA signature algorithm
defined by NIST. Implementers are waiting on the code point allocations in
this draft to be able to produce interoperable implementations using this
algorithm. The draft has completed WGLC and publication has been requested.
I am writing as a COSE working group chair requesting that early allocation be
performed for these values defined by the specification: All values defined in
the IANA Considerations section at
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-cose-dilithium-06.html#name-iana-considerations
EXCEPT FOR the private key and seed values in Sections 8.1.4, 8.1.6, 8.1.9.1,
and 8.1.9.3. (The private key and seed representations are still being
discussed in coordination with the Lamps working group, and may change.)
This action has support from both COSE chairs (Ivo and Mike) and the COSE area
director (Paul).
Thank you,
-- Mike
