Re: Last Call: <draft-bormann-cbor-04.txt> (Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)) to Proposed Standard

I have reviewed this version of the CBOR draft, and am fully supportive of this as a proposed standard. 

For IoT applications over CoAP and other protocols, there is a clear need for a standard binary object representation with a straightforward mapping to JSON that is suitable for constrained devices and networks. This is it. I have not yet implemented CBOR, but plan to do so for use with several commercial CoAP implementations. Furthermore, JSON based formats used in this field such as SenML, or standards from other SDOs like OMA Lightweight M2M that use JSON, will clearly benefit from standardising CBOR.  

I found the document to be well written and concise.
