Hi Peter, thanks very much for the thorough review.

Nearly all of your suggestions have been incorporated [1].  The only
thing left is to address your first "minor issue".  See below for some
considerations.  Let us know if there is anything specific you would
like to see included in the document.

cheers!

This should be treated as a decoding failure.  From an operational
perspective, this should probably be logged as it could represent a
security-relevant event.  If the CMW collection is used in a protocol
that provides detailed error messages, such as a RESTful API that uses
RFC 9457/RFC 9290, the receiver could use that to inform the sender of
the specific details of the problem.

Good catch.  The allocations should be strictly monotonically increasing
without gaps.

Done.

Thanks for the pointer.

Done.

Done.

Good catch, thanks.

Done.
