Re: [Cbor] I-D Action: draft-ietf-cbor-packed-04.txt

cbor-packed would have expired tomorrow, so I made a -04 with the various small edits that have accrued since -03.  As you know, we are collecting further implementation experience at this point, going forward once enough such experience is available.

Apart from the implementation work, further editorial work is needed in the introduction.  We also probably want to provide recipes (and examples?) for defining application-specific Table Setup tags.

Grüße, Carsten
