Hi Orie,

The draft says: "The "Setup info" MUST NOT be used with either HPKE JWE 
Integrated Encryption and HPKE JWE Key Encryption."  Could you provide some 
more information about this part?

RFC 9180 section 8.1 doesn't have this restriction unless using single shot 
APIs.  I'm planning on using a nonce in the info field to make sure the key 
material is specific to the transaction per the advice on NIST 800-56A Appendix 
B.

Thanks!
-matt
