I thought COSE did: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cose-hash-algs/
(in RFC editor queue; registrations already done) did this:

   | Name        | Value | Recommended |
   |-------------|-------|-------------|
   | SHA-1       |   -14 | Filter Only |
   | SHA-256/64  |   -15 | Filter Only |
   | SHA-256     |   -16 | Yes         |
   | SHA-384     |   -43 | Yes         |
   | SHA-512     |   -44 | Yes         |
   | SHA-512/256 |   -17 | Yes         |
   | SHAKE128    |   -18 | Yes         |
   | SHAKE256    |   -45 | Yes         |
