If the intent is to use header parameter 3 (content type) to identify the 
payload of the COSE-Sign1, as has been discussed here, this only works if there 
is a media-type (and preferably also a content-format) for that payload.

There may be other ways to provide that identification, but *if* the parameter 
3 is chosen, a second media type for an unprotected voucher will be required.

(Obviously with +cbor etc.; naming to be decided later.)

So that is also a COSE-Sign1 payload?

But these are all protected vouchers, so they don’t need the additional media 
type, right?

(When I say “additional media type”, this of course also could be a 
content-type parameter, “; protected=no” or some such.  Still need a second 
content-format number.)
