AFAIK, there are still no proposals on the table to register hybrid
signature schemes for JOSE or COSE.

I suppose we are lucky that we can't go faster than NIST on signatures
anyway : )

Since it's been a while since we presented these drafts, when they were
adopted by COSE we agreed to hold them until the dust settles.

For now, we are just trying to keep them aligned with the name and
parameter set changes that have happened since they were adopted.

I'm reading between the lines here, that perhaps I should wait to add the
full parameter set for SPHINCS+ ? * crosses fingers hoping for a yes *
