It wasn't my intention to assert that CDDL was a 'bits on the wire' format.

    I don't know what those things are.
    I might say it was similar to CORBA, but I'd be dating myself and I
    never really knew CORBA very well.

    CDDL could be used to explain how the YANG serialization to CBOR or JSON
    worked.
    But, CDDL is also not a bits-on-the-wire thing, it's also probably human
    and code generator.
    (Carsten says that this is not exclusive the case, anymore, but I think
    having Turing complete
    information modeling languages is a bad thing, and might lead to Daleks
    Invasions and Cybermen Kings)
    
    I would expect that an RFC or other industry document that detailed a
    series of claims might use CDDL to describe the contents of the data
    that made up the details of the claim.
    But, again, for the code generators (whether human or machine)
