Subject: [EXT] Re: [jose] [COSE] Multiple Suffixes with JOSE and COSE media 
types

I don't think running an experiment will work well for this case.
I agree

W3C already assumed that multiple suffixes would be allowed...

If they end up forbidden, W3C will need to make updates...

If they end up allowed but are really only relevant to JSON-LD, or other 
polyglot media types... the problem will remain open every time a polyglot 
media type requests registration as a structured suffix.

Best solution seems to be:

1. Specification required.
2. Experts are directed to relax registration requirements for suffixes that 
build on other subtypes (like +cose builds on +cbor, and +jwt builds on 
+json)...
This makes sense to me

So you don't need to register weird and useless stuff like +ld+jwt, or 
+json+jwt if you don't have a need to use them by themselves... If that changes 
in the future and someone really needs +ld+jwt... They can claim it, by writing 
a specification and getting it to RFC.

If the draft says this explicitly the problem with suffixes seems solved.
Is it possible to get this language in?
