There isn't any problem with it.
It's not *wrong* for TEEP.
I claim that TEEP is having to do too much work.
I also claim that the uncertainty created by EAT's too many options means
that libraries will be too complex and too hard to test.

Okay, so if you want to have the option of having CBOR maps use indefinite
arrays and maps, then can give me a technical reason to pick this?

It seems like we ought to have an optional registry, and if someone wants to
use a URI, then fine.

I agree that it's an TEEP issue.
