Carsten, some year ago we had a lot of discussion when doing 7049bis about
what would be described in 7049bis, and what belonged in the Protocol using
document.

I think that many of Laurence's questions fall into this.
I wonder if we need either:

1) a guide to writing CBOR applicability statements.
2) a worked out example.

Probably both.
While a lot of the more normative advice all through 7049bis, it might be too
diffuse to apply quickly.

I think CDDL can be used to clarify things, but it might be that some of
us need the specific ways beat over our heads.
