+1 for value outside, string inside union

My rational:

- SID can have up to 8 bytes and will provide a marginal compression.
- Generating SID for all 'enumeration' and 'bits' in case they are used in 'union' is lot of overhead to revolve a corner case.
- YANG also support the 'choice' statement (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7950#section-4.2.7) which is similar to
   the concept of type tagging within union. This construct can be used by YANG modules specifically created for
  embedded applications to take advantage of 'enumeration' encoded as value and 'bits' encoded as bit.

Subject: Re: [netconf] YANG encoding in CBOR

So for enum/bits we are back to value outside, string inside union?
Can we use SIDs instead of the strings for the latter?
This can’t be much more complicated than assigning a SID to each string that occurs in an enum/bits in a union.
