iiuc the approach of draft-cavage and signed-exchange is very similar
and the signed-exchange workgroup made a lot of progresses.
AWSv4 seems to me quite limited and IMHO if you expand it you'll
eventually end with
draft-cavage or http-signatures.

Understand, though AWS can change that sdk in the future as that's
tied to their infrastructure.
