The table in Section 1 feels redundant. I wouldn't object to its removal.

"opinionated" is a strange word to use. Can it be replaced by something else?
Maybe "strict" ? Or just remove the constructs that have the word in it? Standards
are not opinionated, they are specifications :P

        While Section 4 of [RFC7493] probably is not relevant to this specification

Then why mention it here?

Thank you for the work put into this document.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points (but replies would be appreciated even if only for my own education).

Special thanks to A.J. Stein for the shepherd's detailed write-up including the WG consensus *and* the justification of the intended status.

Please note that Henk Birkholz is the IoT directorate reviewer (at my request) and you may want to consider this iot-dir review as well when it will be available (no need to wait for it though):

I hope that this review helps to improve the document,

Regards,

## COMMENTS (non-blocking)

### Title

The title is really vague `More control operators`, suggest to use a more specific title, e.g., "Text Conversion and Processing Control Operators for CDDL".

### Section 2.1

Who is `we` in this context? The author? the WG? the whole IETF ? Please avoid using this sentence structure.

Should `QR code` have an informational reference ?

### Section 3.1

I smiled a lot when reading IPv4 = legacy IP ;-)
