Re: [Cbor] I-D Action: draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-more-control-04.txt

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

As discussed at the IETF 119 CBOR meeting and on the mailing list, this is an update that removes .cbordet/.cbordetseq (in favor of .cde/.cdeseq in draft-ietf-cbor-cde).

I did use the opportunity to add a few clarifications/cleanup; see also diff link below [2]:

* References:
  * Added a reference to JSON Sequences (RFC 7464) to the sentence about *not* providing .jsonseq; clarified that sentence
  * Used a single BCP14 reference for the BCP14 boilerplate, to provide a cleaner normative references section
* Removed an unnecessary and potentially confusing “at least”

Note that the shepherd writeup will need to mention the downref to RFC 9285 (base45), which is an informational RFC but a normative reference of this document (for .b45).  
(This is a standard procedure and likely will cause RFC 9285 to be added to the “downref registry” [1].)

Grüße, Carsten
