And as a further followup, I-D.ietf-cose-countersign is already mentioned
several times in rfc8152bis-struct, and is an informative reference.

As an informative reference, it won't prevent rfc8152bis-struct from
waiting on countersign, but actually I rather think we should reference the
new RFC#.  But, it shouldn't be a normative reference.
