Description

Related PR: https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/3850

Current nonces() are incremental sequences per owner (signer) and they interfere for Votes and ERC20Permit:

contract Nonces {
    function nonces(address owner) public view virtual returns (uint256);
}

contract ERC20Permit is Nonces {
    function permit(address owner, address spender, uint value, uint deadline, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) external;
}

contract Votes is Nonces {
    function delegateBySig(address delegatee, uint256 nonce, uint256 expiry, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) external;
}

Research direction

Start by reviewing the related pull request 3850 and the Nonces, ERC20Permit, and Votes entry points shown in the issue. Determine the intended unified EIP-712 nonce behavior and how it should resolve the interaction between permit and delegation signatures; done requires an agreed design and corresponding compatibility expectations.
