Yep, mea culpa for not spotting that. However, RFC 7252 (CoAP, a PS)
also has a normative reference to 7251, on which basis I think we can
safely claim that this is no longer a downref. Actually, it looks
like the downref also wasn't called out in the CoAP IETF LC, but I
guess the sky didn't fall, so that's ok:-) And recall that the
definition of an ok downref is one that's "accepted by the community"
(says [1]) and I think CoAP is as is AES-CCM.

I plan to add 7251 to the downref registry [2] shortly, and to put the
DICE profile on the Oct 1 IESG telechat. If however, that's too much
of a process sin, there's still time to do another IETF LC on the
DICE profile without affecting the timing. So while I figure we're ok
without that, I'll do the 2nd IETF LC if anyone yells now.

Cheers,
S.
