DASL-CBOR (instead of DRISL)

[bnewbold]

I love DASL and the succinct CBOR flavor described by DRISL. And I love the name and branding of DASL.

But having looked at and said it out loud a lot, I don't love the word "DRISL". And recently when updating the atproto specs to reference DASL, I was doing a lot of world jumbling around "DRISL, the part of DASL that has to do with CBOR".

This was in contrast to DAG-CBOR, which nicely includes the term "CBOR", while clarifying that a specific flavor is being invoked, all in a single word/term.

As a humble proposal (knowing this might be disruptive at this point), what if we call DRISL "DASL-CBOR"?

I'm a fan. Much as I love extending the puns, *-CBOR can do some heavily lifting to make the weird world of content addressing feel more familiar.

What do you think @darobin @bumblefudge @b5 @makew0rld? We can also discuss at the 2/19 DASLing WG call.

No objections here. Makes sense.

I like the funny names but don't have strong feelings about it. I will say if we set a pattern we should probably follow it. Should MUXL be DASL-MP4?

The bike shed should be blue! I am on team blue bike shed and all other bike shed colors are inferior. /s

When I was new to the whole DASL thing, it took me a while to figure out what DASL and what DRISL is. Given that we have DASL-CIDs, and DASL-CAR, I think having a DASL-CBOR makes sense.

[bumblefudge]

all joking aside, I think it already takes me a minute to remember whether I'm talking about DASL, RASL, or MASL-- I'm actually fine calling it DAG-CBOR or DASL-CBOR, practically.
