Re: [webauthn] Consider requiring canonical CBOR throughout

As has been discussed in the corresponding FIDO 2.0 CTAP issue https://github.com/fido-alliance/fido-2-specs/issues/200, the recipient can't assume that the content is canonical CBOR even if it's specified that it must be. That imposes additional validation steps that the authenticator must perform that otherwise would not be necessary. This seems like a "false savings" to me, as many of the canonicalization features add no value for this use case.
