[webauthn] Consider using CDDL (CBOR data definition language) to define CBOR-encoded data structures

equalsJeffH has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Consider using CDDL (CBOR data definition language) to define 
CBOR-encoded data structures ==
See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl

Presently we are defining CBOR data structs in the fashion used in the
 CBOR spec itself [RFC7049], though this is essentially ad-hoc.  The 
above Internet-Draft (I-D) defines a formal means for defining 
CBOR-encoded data structs. There is already some early tooling: 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl-09#appendix-F

A "CBOR Maintenance & Extensions" WG is in-formation and the above I-D
 is a work item in the draft charter: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-cbor/
