Hi all

I have just submitted version -05 of the SUIT manifest draft.

I have re-arranged text in the draft quite a bit in an attempt to improve clarity. Maybe it worked and maybe it didn't.

It would be great if someone could re-read the document and tell me whether this new structure is an improvement.

Let me summarize what has changed (since the diff will not give you much insight):

  *   The complete CDDL is now in the appendix
  *   Examples are also in the appendix (and the source material has been uploaded to the repo)
  *   Description of what is mandatory to implement has been summarized in a chapter in the appendix
  *   Made an attempt to create an IANA consideration section with the CBOR-based value definitions.
  *   Re-grouped the subsections explaining the manifest and I tried to use a more consistent naming
  *   Moved some of the background text into the introduction
  *   Checked the entire document for consistent naming of fields and terms
  *   Removed the opcodes from the commands because they weren't used anywhere in the document
  *   Added lots of references to the section listing templates.
  *   Created a dedicated "envelope" section to describe the structure of the top-level structure (+updated figure)
  *   Simplified all tables in the document and gave them the same look and feel.
  *   Updated compression and packing algorithms (and added references).

There are still TBDs in the document and I noticed a few bugs here and there.
Will fix them asap but wanted to have something for the group to look at.

However, I hope the document is easier to read. Please have a look at:
