[Cbor] New CDDL control operator proposal: .iana

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

I have submitted a new version of the CDDL freezer document, which suggests a new control operator: .iana, to enable referencing IANA registries in models [1].

I think we’ll need some discussions with IANA to make this really useful in practice, but the overall direction should be visible from the proposal.

(BTW, there also is a fleeting mention of a possible .iregexp [2].)

Grüße, Carsten

> Abstract:
>   In defining the Concise Data Definition Language (CDDL), some
>   features have turned up that would be nice to have.  In the interest
>   of completing this specification in a timely manner, the present
>   document was started to collect nice-to-have features that did not
>   make it into the first RFC for CDDL, RFC 8610.
> 
>   It is now time to discuss thawing some of the concepts discussed
>   here.  A number of additional proposals have been added.
