tl;dr: #7.<32..255> is allowed. CDDL tool authors, please update and
complain on breakage.

Hello group,

it has happened once more: another shortcoming in the grammar was
found[1], and is fixed in -04: Simple values that were previously
unexpressible can now be expressed, and calculated using the same
mechanism as for tags.

As per precedent established in earlier iterations that if it's a
grammar change, there is another WGLC on it. (I do plan to revisit that
stance on future documents, and appreciate input on that topic; also,
I'm now a tad more wary of -00 versions).

If you have any concerns about this, please file them by 2024-03-15, at
which point this document will be marked as ready otherwise.

Best regards
Christian
