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

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

The below has a number of clarifications in the floating point area (specifically, NaNs), not all of which made it into the -03 for the IETF 120 cutoff.

It also includes a PR that moves Application Profiles to an appendix and deemphasizes them in the body text.  This should reduce confusion that CDE is only complete with an Application Profile on top of it.  (Unfortunately, moving around text like this also makes it harder to see the changes in the diff linked to below — looking at the source changes [1] can be easier as the move was based on a kramdown-rfc trick with no physical move of text.)

As our meeting is on Friday, I hope we all do have some time to look at the update.

(I’ll also submit a clerical update of draft-bormann-cbor-det, which hasn’t really changed since March.  You maybe do want to have a look at the initial draft draft-bormann-cbor-numbers [2] for a more general look at numbers in CBOR.)

Grüße, Carsten
