I think this is a false gain. It will look like the API surface did not changed (because the API can still represent every value as bytes as it did before), but the application would also need to communicate to the API whether or not the peer would accept an int-valued kid, reintroducing the distinction. (I also favor keeping the value spaces distinct because it makes best use of the existing code points, and because additive typing is something I consider good CBOR practice).
