Re: [Cbor] I-D Action: draft-ietf-cbor-edn-literals-05.txt

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

This is the revision I promised two weeks ago.
It did take a bit longer than planned, but that is mostly due to very useful comments, in particular by Christian.

The summary comment for the revision is:

> -05: encoding indicators, chunked strings, ip'', 999()
> 
> Discussion of roundtripping
> ip''/IP'': upper case/lower case application literals
> 999(): application extension stand-in
> 888(): ellipsis and ellipsis stand-in
> editorial and ABNF improvements

Please see for yourself, in particular the diff link below.

edn-abnf has a proof of concept implementation for playing around with all of this:

   gem install edn-abnf
   edn-abnf -tdiag -e "h'1234...7890’"
   edn-abnf -tdiag my-file.diag

Grüße, Carsten
