Re: [Cbor] Chair review of cbor-file-magic 08

Hello Michael, Carsten,

thanks for the update, it does address the semantic concerns.

Two things were left but minor enough to be addressed in the next phase:

* In Section 5.3 (IANA / CBOR Tags for CoAP Content-Format Numbers), it
  still says "Date item: byte string"

  (when the rest of the document is now clear that it depends on the
  the context and (when in 55799) the individual content format).

* The introduction of Appendix A ("CBOR Tags for CoAP Content Formats")
  says:

  > Often, there is a need to identify a media type (or content type,
  > i.e., media type optionally used with parameters) that applies to
  > the contents of a byte string in a CBOR data item.

  Of all the things we describe how these 64k tags could be used,
  annotating a byte string is none of them -- and I think the sentence
  just needs an editorial nudge.

  (Incidentally, that is one variation which I might want to use in
  embedded representations in CoRAL, but now is most definitely not the
  time ask for things being added, especially when I'm not perfectly
  sure yet I'll need them).

I'll update the shepherd review after the cut-off.

Best regards,
Christian
