Re: [Cbor] I-D Action: draft-richardson-cbor-network-addresses-01.txt

Nice and sweet (although I liked the sequence in -00 of describing current IP before legacy 32-bit IP better).
Need to update the IANA considerations with the new array order.
There needs to be some text about padding in the prefix byte strings.
(Ultimately, a prefix is a bit string, which we decided NOT to have as a basic type in RFC 7049; that would be two bytes shorter if we want that.)

We use the term “byte string”, not “bytestring” or “byte-string”.

I don’t think the current security considerations are worth it — this security consideration applies to any self-describing representation.  (And inversely, in a signed object you do want to minimize semantic dependencies from context.)

I think it would be useful to have some discussion about the pre-existing tags in this space, but that could be done separately (such as in the notable-tags document, for which I need to find time to update it…).

Grüße, Carsten
