Thanks Andy for your responses. Just to come back to one item:

I think I've used the wrong term here: instead of "instance identifier 
string", the thing in a CBOR map key is called "name" (Section 3.3 of 
RFC 9254).

For a sender of a CBOR payload, such "name" string can always be 
substituted by its corresponding SID in a CBOR payload that conforms to 
a YANG module (for which SIDs have been assigned).

I was trying to confirm that this is correct and that the sender can 
arbitrarily select which names to substitute, e.g. a subset.
