getting used to using STD numbers is kinda important.
The point of STD numbers is that they are an indirection.
would this link be better: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/std96

I thought it did :-)

Yes, that's better.

as per RFC6838:

Name: application/cose
+suffix: +cose
References: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/std96 (RFC9052)
Encoding considerations: COSE is always encoded as CBOR, which is binary
Interoperability considerations: None
Fragment identifier considerations: N/A
Security considerations: as per RFC9052, section 12
