Finally there are people suggesting that CBOR is the IETF version of JSON

not follow the JSON data model and thus isn't technically
interchangeable. It is not possible to go back and create consensus after
people are told 'this is our ball, we choose who we are going to play
with' as happened in this case.

Barry, can you add a little more clarity on this point, please?  Does your
decision mean that we shall not ever normatively reference CBOR in future
protocols?
