[Rats] draft-ietf-rats-eat: bundles, CBOR

[Christian Amsüss <[e-mail]>]

Hello RATS WG,

while reading the relevant parts of rats-eat to process the IANA
request for CBOR tag 602, I stumbled over what is probably just an
editorial thing:

* In Section 5 it says "The second part is a map/object as follows:",
  but what follows describes the values of the map, not the map itself.
  The map keys are only mentiojned two paragraphs below. This would at
  least need some "values of" sprinkled in, but it's probably more
  readable to pull text on the "label/name" up into the "The second
  part" list.

* "URIs are not the URI tag": "URIs are not *wrapped in* the URI tag"?

And one thing that's not editorial, and possibly just too late in the
process:

* manifest-format uses an array for a (content-format, encoded data)
  tuple. There is a different  way of encoding this published in
  RFC9277: A range of about 2**16 tags has been allocated, so that
  instead of `manifest-format = [ content-type, body ]`, `message-format =
  #6.(TN(content-type))(body)` could be used.

  I know too little of the EAT messages to fully assess whether this
  would work out in this case, but unless the format is set already in
  stone, I'd encourage you to have a look at the range registered in
  9277.

BR
Christian
