Technical Summary

   This specification adds the equivalent of the JOSE typ (type) header
   parameter to COSE so that the benefits of explicit typing, as defined
   in the JSON Web Token Best Current Practices BCP, can be brought to
   COSE objects.  The syntax of the COSE type header parameter value is
   the same as the existing COSE content type header parameter.

Working Group Summary

   Broad consensus - no issues raised.

Document Quality

  No special issues.
