We had interesting discussions yesterday about how to fix the media-type and content-format registrations for CBOR-based anima vouchers.

I’m growing a bit tired of dispensing the ancient wizardry that is required each time such a registration is needed, so I started writing it up:

https://cabo.github.io/cbor-media-types/draft-bormann-cbor-defining-media-types.html

Comments and PRs very welcome.

I plan to submit this as a -00 on Sunday; probably too late for DISPATCH (but I wouldn’t mind some discussion over there as well).
