# CDDL

Barry: Goal of this meeting is to make sure the doc progresses. Carsten has made updates in the github, not updated in the datatracker yet.

Carsten: presenting the diff between last draft (-03) and github versions. All formal comments should be here (github editor version), might need some polishing
    - Standard Prelude moved to appendix D (Jim's comment)
    - number of changes are editorials that are still in the document (Jim's comment)
    - one objective is still there that we decided not to do, number of changes related to that
    - in terminology: explicit def of term byte
    - section 2.1 explains how group work following issue 14
    - fixes to figure
    - 2.2.2 explicit about delivery
    - 2.2.2.1 explicit ranges are either between integers or floating + control operators
    - 2.2.3 representation types, comments welcome if the text is clear
    - 3.5.3 confusion about cut means, trying to make this clearer
    - 3.8 control operators have fw considerations to iana registry
    - .size is more explicitly explained what it is for
    - 3.8.6 .ne and .eq : leaving specification as people have been using it but explicit
    - 3.10 Jim's comments about generic rules (+ editorial)
    - 3.11 encourage people to use parenthesis when precedence is not clear
    - Jim's noticed tilde was missing in the operator table, fixed, and amp as well
    - CDDL operator registry defined
    - using the . is IETF review, otherwise specification required.
    - added reference on parsing expression grammar
    - App B: Fixed a comment from Jim + "h" and "b64" expression case insensitive. One discussion about spacing in the mailing list (see mail from Carsten from a couple of days ago), but a part from that spacing should be correct now.
    - Editorial comments
Barry: what of these ones need to be solved before we go to publication
Carsten: only one is the syntax (spacing before the type), the others are covered (or for future version).
Barry: proposal makes sense.
Carsten: Probably need 2 more hours of testing to make sure it does not break anything.

# Summary

Barry: update -04 in the next couple of days (by the end of the week), then we'll start WGLC.

CBORbis: on the agenda for next meeting (in two weeks), as well as any WGLC comments for CDDL.
