The following errata report has been submitted for RFC8610,
"Concise Data Definition Language (CDDL): A Notational Convention to Express Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) and JSON Data Structures".

You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6278

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Eric Seppanen <eds@reric.net>

Section: Appendix B

Original Text
-------------
BCHAR = %x20-26 / %x28-5B / %x5D-10FFFD / SESC / CRLF


Corrected Text
--------------
BCHAR = %x20-26 / %x28-5B / %x5D-7E / %x80-10FFFD / SESC / CRLF


Notes
-----
Between draft 6 and 7 of the RFC, the ASCII DELETE character 0x7F was excluded from the character set allowed in text literals.  I believe it should also be excluded from the character set of bytestring literals.

A 0x7F byte could not be decoded if included in a hex or base64 bytestring, leaving only UTF-8 bytestrings.  Since there is no discussion in the text of any reason to allow this character in a UTF-8 bytestring when it was not allowed in a UTF-8 text string, I suspect this was an oversight.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
