* CBOR Bis status update and open points
* New PR: https://github.com/cbor-wg/CBORbis/pull/171
discussing the third option of duplicate key handling behavior -
LL not satisfied by the text -> rather than encoder to be relied on specify protocols/applications that could support this. "in some scenarios you might consider the input not to be hostile but you should be cautious about that"
Jim: proposal additional draft text "Applications may get different results for a specific key on different runs and with different libraries as which value is returned is based on library implementation and the actual order of keys in the map."
LL: add text that requires implementer to specify which type they have implemented
LL: if keep description of scenarios where encode can be relied on, expand it to the whole infrastructure, not only the encoder.
Jim: happy with the text
LL: content is there mostly; protocol design considerations missing
mcr: read the text and ok with it
* PR 165 - ask people to look at (still waiting on Jeffrey's approval of that one)
* Laurence to check PR159 (already merged) and notify Carsten and mailing list
* WGLC after next submission and to run for 2 weeks
* new issue https://github.com/cbor-wg/CBORbis/issues/170
LL: not sure this is something you can do in CBOR
Jim: you could make it an optional field
mcr: or you could make it just null without tag.
LL: it might not work for some protocols
mcr: do we have examples?
Carsten to write a response; do we add some explanatory text? dont think we want to change tags 0 and 1
- reach out to implementers (before WGLC)
- WGLC after next submission and to run for 2 weeks
