Replacing CDN's previous informal descriptions, it updates RFC 8949, obsoleting its Section 8, and RFC 8610, obsoleting its Appendix G. It also specifies registry-based extension points and uses them to support text representations such as of epoch-based dates/times and of IP addresses and prefixes. // (This cref will be removed by the RFC editor:) -26 is intended to // address the May/June 2026 Working Group Last Call comments on -25 // and the ensuing WG discussions. Specifically, this update: • is // going further with the idea to entirely replace the non- backwards // compatible update considered for the RFC 8610/G.4 concatenation by // two new application extensions (temporarily named b1/t1), and to // add related application-oriented extensions that deprecate the // original streamstring syntax. • includes the float'' application- // extension so that the entire CBOR format can be covered. • now // uses rules closer to those of markdown for handling data // transparency in raw strings, simplifying their implementation. • // adds security considerations. • proactively reserves the // application-extension identifier "pragma" for potential future // standardization. • This update does not address certain comments // that propose some editorial restructuring requiring moving text // around; this is best done in a next revision after the technical // comments are addressed.}, }
