Any volunteers to confirm this errata and check the entire RFC for similar

> The hex above the diagnostic notation encodes for index 2 before the
'Symmetric256' value. The use of CBOR value 2 to mean "kid" is also
consistent with the examples around it.

and COSE Header parameters, a check through the whole document for whether
the right numeric values are used might be due. The use of 2 here and 4 in
A.3 and A.4 seems right to me -- but I keep mixing those up myself, which
was why I was looking into this example in the first place.
