A new CBOR Web Token (CWT) draft has been published that addresses the Working Group Last Call (WGLC) feedback received.  Changes were:

*         Say that CWT is derived from JWT, rather than CWT is a profile of JWT.

*         Used CBOR type names in descriptions, rather than major/minor type numbers.

*         Clarified the NumericDate and StringOrURI descriptions.

*         Changed to allow CWT claim names to use values of any legal CBOR map key type.

*         Changed to use the CWT tag to identify nested CWTs instead of the CWT content type.

*         Added an example using a floating-point date value.

*         Acknowledged reviewers.

Thanks to Samuel Erdtman for doing the majority of the editing for this draft.  As always, people are highly encouraged to validate the examples.
