Thank you for that feedback. So I think we need to be a bit more radical/precise: -YANG-CBOR should explain that SIDs are 63-bit unsigned integers and how the delta encoding in the CBOR map keys works. I.e., define the concept, but not the number space management. -sid does the latter. The document that defines the media types (comi) gets to bind YANG-CBOR, for these media types, to the specific SID concept defined in -sid. -YANG-CBOR can still refer to -sid as a preferred way to manage the number space. But you can implement -YANG-CBOR without understanding -sid, so this is not a normative reference. Any other document using -YANG-CBOR can refer to -sid as well (or, exceptionally, to something specific for that usage).
