Whatever comes out of the EDHOC discussion about transferring public
keys by value could also serve this purpose. In [82] and [88],
contenders for that seem to be stripped-down `COSE_Key`s, C509
"certificates" (AIU they're not necessarily certificates but can be RPKs
just as well) and CWTs.

This has some overlap with what can currently be expressed in DNS
(public-by-value would relate to SubjectPublicKeyInfo).
