[COSE] "CBOR Certificates"

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

So, draft-mattsson-cose-cbor-cert-compress has in it's title:

        CBOR Encoding of X.509 Certificates (CBOR Certificates)

Section 7 is: _Natively Signed CBOR Certificates_

and I strongly believe that we should remove this section, and the title.
This is going to very confusing.  And section 7 is not sufficient to really
have native CBOR Certificates.  It even says that it's an intermediate step.

   CBOR encoded X.509 certificates provides an intermediate step between
   [RFC7925] or [IEEE-802.1AR] profiled X.509 certificates and natively
   signed CBOR certificates: An implementation of CBOR encoded X.509
   certificates contains both the CBOR encoding of the X.509 certificate
   and the signature operations sufficient for natively signed CBOR
   certificates.

So if this document confuses people into thinking that this intermediate step
are "CBOR Certificates", then when we actually do that (as LGL and others
want to do with EAT), then there will be mass confusion.

So, if that term could be struck from this otherwise excellent document on
compressing PKIX certificates, that would be nice.

(ps: I have some IDevID examples which I can share.  I've been trying to
compress them, but haven't done the OID compression that I need yet)
