Good, when could that happen?

Just for my information, is this the difference you refer to?

Object ID: Object instance ID, unrelated to the type/structure of the CBOR data item.

Object Type: Identifier associatd with the actual definition/structure of the object (CBOR data item).

Although both are useful, the intention was making COTX holding Object Type. Instance IDs are usually a part of the object (CBOR data item) itself.
