That raises the overall question how IANA registries could be made available in CDDL.

This particular case is probably the most difficult one, as the "COSE Algorithms” registry combines various kinds of algorithms into one registry, so essentially one would like to make an SQL query over that :-)

SELECT Value 
  FROM IANA.cose#algorithms 
  WHERE recommended=“yes” and capabilities=“[]”

(Hmm, I don’t understand how the capabilities, are mapped in the current registry — the SHA-256 entry there says “[kty]” but draft-ietf-cose-hash-algs-09 says "[]”.  Is capabilities even a good way to select an algorithm?)
