A new pull request is available for Packed CBOR [0]:

* I wrote up the "equivalence principle” we discussed last week [1].

* For good measure, I also threw in a small optimization that will save a couple of bytes in many applications of the join tag [2].

Comments on either part of the PR (yeah, I should have made two of them) are welcome.

Grüße, Carsten
