Hi authors,
hi list,

I am the assigned IoT Directorate reviewer for I-D.ietf-cbor-array-tags.

Please treat this review as you would treat any other WGLC comment.

The document defines 26 IANA CBOR tag numbers in the specification-required
space and one tag number in the first-come-first-served space. The tags enable
the use of typed, multidimensional, and homogeneous arrays in the CBOR (RFC
7049) enabling multiple compinations of array composition. Serialization of
corresponding CBOR arrays is defined in text and complemented with
comprehensive summaries in table format. The specified CBOR tags provide
convenience functions (e.g. retaining endianness) that reduce workflow
complexity and are eliminating unnecessary serialization overhead in comparison
to the original array tag specified in RFC 7049.

This document provides significant improvements for the conveyance of various
types of structured data processed by things of any size.

The document is well written, comprehensible, and concise. Various nits have
been resolved based on other WGLC comments.

The tag specification uses CBOR examples (figures) that sightly diverge from
the style used RFC 7049. The style used is in this document is an improvement
with respect to readability and is consistent with other documents.

The document is ready for approval.

Viele Grüße,

Henk
