The thing is EAT made a conscious decision to depend heavily on CDDL
(and CDDLplus, by using .feature to handle JSON and CBOR in one go).
So, it's not just the socket term, it's the whole of CDDL that readers
have to understand, and quite well, if they want to make sense of EAT.

By the way, there's a ton of CBOR diagnostic in the examples, so it's
probably a good idea to include a reference to that too in the
Terminology.
