Well, as the review hints at in other places, a patch is not truly a SenML document per se, even if it cleverly shares most of its structure.
Maybe we should add a media type that explicitly identifies it as a patch.
(You’ll definitely have to adjust the CDDL to allow “v”:null.  
Also maybe explain that patches are defined for CBOR and JSON serialization only.)
