Subject: [Cbor] New Version of draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-03.txt: ten days to Montreal IETF

As you may have seen, the authors finally generated an updated version of the CDDL spec.

Please see the delta in:

> Diff:           https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-03

This is supposed to address all the issues in

	https://github.com/cbor-wg/cddl/issues

except for: one that is marked “CDDL 2.0” (for the freezer), one editorial fix needed that doesn’t have technical consequences, one comment about the tool, and three issues marked “help wanted”.

Those three issues raise some questions that the authors could not simply solve without some direction of the WG where we should go:

	• Which data model do .eq and .ne use? (#18)
	• IANA registry for control operators? (#17)
	• Specify group matching (#14)

I intend to bring up one each of these on the mailing list in the next few days, when people are back from July 4th.

If you have other comments that have not been addressed, of course we also would like to hear them (again. please, if needed).
We do want to stay in the frame of CDDL 1.0 — please consult draft-bormann-cbor-cddl-freezer (which I haven’t updated though) to check whether any new idea has already been frozen for 2.0.

The plan is to have a –04 ready at the start of the IETF meeting in Montreal; an editor’s copy (which already has some fixes relative to –03) is always at:

	https://cbor-wg.github.io/cddl/draft-ietf-cbor-cddl.html
and the diff for that is at:
	https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-cbor-cddl.txt&url2=https://cbor-wg.github.io/cddl/draft-ietf-cbor-cddl.txt
or
	https://is.gd/cddl_editing_diffs
if your mail reader can’t do long URIs.

In any case, enjoy the rest Independence Day (or simply a soccer-free day, if you live outside the US).

Grüße, Carsten
