# Éric Vyncke, INT AD, comments for draft-ietf-cbor-time-tag-11

Thank you for the work put into this document. I am trusting the responsible AD
for the CDDL specifications, please also note that I am not a time specialist.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points (but replies would be
appreciated even if only for my own education).

Special thanks to Barry Leiba for the shepherd's minimalist write-up including
the WG consensus and the justification of the intended status.

Other thanks to Qin Wu, the IoT directorate reviewer (at my request), please
consider this int-dir review:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/review-ietf-cbor-time-tag-10-iotdir-telechat-wu-2023-10-17/
(and I have read the follow-up email discussion)

I hope that this review helps to improve the document,

Regards,

-éric

# COMMENTS

## Section 2

What is "TAI" ?

## Section 3

As non native English speaker, I find this clause unclear: `these keys are
"elective", as the extended time is still usable if an implementation elects
not to implement them` I.e., how can it be usable if the implementation does
not support it ? Is it because the added information is not critical ?

## Section 3.3

Should there be a reference for Haskell time ?

## Section 3.4

Please add an informative reference to NTP.

More important, "GPS" is a specific system out of the USA. Please use "GNSS" as
it also covers non-USA satellite systems such as Galileo.
