In working on a Java HPKE implementation I found that specification does
not specify anything about the authentication tag length for the AEAD
cipher.  I opened issue #283
<https://github.com/cfrg/draft-irtf-cfrg-hpke/issues/238> and proposed PR
239 <https://github.com/cfrg/draft-irtf-cfrg-hpke/pull/239> to address
this.

Cheers,

Joe
