Fabien,

Thanks, also for previous answers blowing pretty much in the same horn.

"shared offline..." sounds a bit strange and would leave devices decoupled from vital metadata like what "speed: 33" actually means.

Based on your input so far, M3DA is more or less meant to fix and address faults of OMA-DM and act explicitely in the "Device Management", Licensing or Provisioning, space, but has no relevance to "Runtime Operation" of any such device, right?

If that's the case, the approach may be sufficient, otherwise I don't seem to be the only one here who feels it should be refined and improved.

Hi,

M3DA is about shaving bytes off, when bandwidth cost is the central issue.
Cases where the bandwidth/resilience compromise--e.g. for aerospace or some
automotive applications--are perfectly legitimate, but they're not what
M3DA tries to address.  We use M3DA with some metadata, which happen to
include measurement units, but those are shared offline, not over M3DA.

The most typical use case is that of a GSM gateway, which exchanges data
with a unique server, where its authentication credentials have been
provisioned offline. If a server migration ever needs to occur, offline
metadata must be moved together with the credentials.
