RFC 8392, "CBOR Web Token (CWT)", May 2018

Source of RFC: ace (sec)

Errata ID: 5710
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section 1.1 says:

In JSON, maps are called objects and only have one kind of map key: a
   string.  CBOR uses strings, negative integers, and unsigned integers
   as map keys.

It should say:

In JSON, maps are called objects and only have one kind of map key:
a string.  CBOR allows other data types, such as strings, negative
integers, and unsigned integers, as map keys.

Notes:

The text as it stands risks an interpretation that CBOR limits map keys to integers and strings; per discussion on the CBOR mailing list, this is not the case.

Notes:

The ASCII representation of binary bytes in Figure 10 is wrapped
on an odd number of ASCII characters. Since there are two ASCII
characters per binary bytes this splits the last byte over two
lines.

The CBOR playground (http://cbor.me) cannot handle this and
errors out.

This is slightly confusing for readers.

The actual bytes values are correct by all the checks I did.
