In Section 5.3.1.1 Verification Material, it states that a COSE_Key property is allowed, but then doesn't specify the data format. Should this include something like CoseWebKey or publicKeyCwk? Or is something else expected to be defined here?

There's no need to add COSE_Key representations to controller documents. JWK is equivalent and can be used instead. JWK, like controller documents, are JSON, whereas adding binary COSE_Key values to JSON would be awkward, at best.

There's no need to add COSE_Key representations to controller documents.

Then the specification shouldn't say that a "COSE_Key" property is allowed. Remove the text that suggests that there is a "COSE_Key" format.
