Re: [COSE] COSE HPKE Public Key Format Consensus Call

I think we have caused unnecessary controversy.  I think we should have used a different I-D file name.  We want HPKE-like features but using as much of the existing COSE specifications (including COSE_Key) as possible.

I vote for #1.

The authors described that Ilari Liusvaara had proposed using a different public key representation, which is detailed in Slide 2 of https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/114/materials/slides-114-cose-cose-hpke-00 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/114/materials/slides-114-cose-cose-hpke-00>.  As recorded in the minutes <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/minutes-114-cose/>, consensus during the meeting appeared to be in favor of continuing to use COSE_Key.
