COMMENT:

I've only reviewed the diffs, not the historical approved text.  Everything
looks okay to me.  A few minor comments/nits:

Comment:

1.4.  CBOR Grammar

  The CDDL grammar is informational; the prose description is normative.

I'm not familiar with the CDDL grammar, and specifically whether there is any
tooling that can use the grammar to generate structures/etc.  If there is, then
I think that it would be helpful if the CDDL grammar was also normative, in the
sense that readers of the spec should be able to assume that the CDDL is
correct.  I would still be okay with a statement that says that if there is any
ambiguity between the two then the prose description should be taken as being
definitive.

Nits:

1.5.  CBOR-Related Terminology

  The presence in a CBOR map of a label that is not a text string or an integer
  is an error.

This sentence was changed from the original formulation, but I find it slightly
clunky.  Perhaps:

The presence of a label, that is neither a text string nor an integer, in a
CBOR map, is an error.

9.  Taxonomy of Algorithms used by COSE

   In this section, a taxonomy of the different algorithm types that can
   be used in COSE is laid out.  This taxonomy should not be considered
   to be exhaustive.  New algorithms will be created which will not fit
   into this taxonomy.  If this occurs, then new documents addressing
   this new algorithms are going to be needed.

Nit, this -> these

Regards,
Rob
