I think that this is because we haven't gotten a library/public-include
system for CDDL.  So the urge is to make documents self-contained.

Given the audience for CoSWID is largely outside of the IETF, in a sector of
the industry that is, at present, very immature, I think that CoSWID did the
right thing.

EAT is a bit more inward facing (given TEEP, SUIT, etc. customers), or at
least, the external audience is a lot more mature (TCG, CCC, ...), so perhaps
the outgoing references are really a sign of the direction we should be
going.

As Carsten said, the CBOR WG needs to think about how exactly to use CDDL.
