The following errata report has been held for document update 
for RFC8392, "CBOR Web Token (CWT)". 

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5710

--------------------------------------
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Felipe Gasper <felipe@felipegasper.com>
Date Reported: 2019-04-29
Held by: Paul Wouters (IESG)

Section: 1.1

Original Text
-------------
In JSON, maps are called objects and only have one kind of map key: a
   string.  CBOR uses strings, negative integers, and unsigned integers
   as map keys.

Corrected Text
--------------
In JSON, maps are called objects and only have one kind of map key:
a string.  CBOR allows other data types, such as strings, negative
integers, and unsigned integers, as map keys.

Notes
-----
The text as it stands risks an interpretation that CBOR limits map keys to integers and strings; per discussion on the CBOR mailing list, this is not the case.
