Re: [core] I-D Action: draft-ietf-core-comi-12.txt

As we discussed, we wanted to revive the comi draft which had expired a while ago.
-12 comes with a number of simplifications that are borne out by implementation experience, reflecting the discussions at the IETF 115 Hackathon and at the 2023-01-18 CoRE interim:

	• Simplifies the outer arrays to CBOR sequences (RFC 8742).
	• Fixes the comma-separation ambiguity in the URI Query parameter.
	• Gets rid of the complexity of (old) Table 6.

It also comes with one potential further simplification that equalizes FETCH/PATCH with GET/POST/PUT even more, but makes the URIs less readable to the casual observer.

We’ll discuss this at IETF 116, and I wouldn’t mind if we had some mailing list discussion so we go prepared into that discussion.

Grüße, Carsten
