Hex String Tag for CBOR

This document specifies a tag for Hex String in Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) 1.

Tag: 263
Data item: byte string
Semantics: Hexadecimal String
Point of contact: Ravi R <ravir@employees.org>
Description of semantics: https://github.com/toravir/CBOR-Tag-Specs/blob/master/hexString.md

Semantics

Tag 263 can be applied to a byte string (major type 2) to indicate that the byte string is a hexadecimal string - any normal string is stored as hexadecimal string, but this tag means that string is to be kept as hex format and does not mean anything to convert to ASCII or anything.
