As we discussed in conjunction with https://github.com/cbor-wg/CBORbis/issues/176, we need a registration for an invalid tag, which is reserved so it can be used in an implementation to store the absence of a tag into an integer that would otherwise carry the number of that tag. I have put the text for a specification for that registration in: https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-bormann-cbor-notable-tags-00.html#name-iana-considerations I have also applied for the tag number at IANA. I took the occasion to start drafting the “notable tags” draft I have been bandying about in recent CBOR meetings. Most of the text that would make that draft useful is not yet written. I also need to shop around for permissions to copy over original tag definition texts into that draft. But the structure is already a good straw man for how I think this document should look like.
