This is a small thing, and perhaps its been settled, but I couldn't find
anything in the archives about it:  The media type registration for
application/cbor in RFC 7049 says that there's no magic number for CBOR.
But section 2.4.5 defines a CBOR tag that whose purpose is to implement
a magic number, 0xd9_d9_f7.  And this is carried forward into
7049bis-09.  It seems to me that the registration should be corrected.
