Precedence: list

The document linked below is pretty mature now, and should be ready for WGLC.
In Wednesday’s interim, I’ll propose to WGLC this in parallel with draft-ietf-cbor-edn-literals, as both documents have non-trivial amounts of ABNF, and it probably helps to look at them in a comparative way.

(See also [Appendix B of EDN-literal](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-cbor-edn-literals-04.html#appendix-B) for some comparison.)

Of course, any comments on this document even before WGLC are welcome, here or at https://github.com/cbor-wg/update-8610-grammar/issues

Grüße, Carsten
