I agree with Jim's response to the comparison question.
An RFC is being created because a tag is being registered in the Specification
Required range of the Tags Registry specified at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#section-7.2.

Document: draft-ietf-cbor-date-tag-05
Reviewer: Linda Dunbar
Review Date: 2020-08-03
IETF LC End Date: 2020-08-14
IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat
Summary:
This is a very simple draft, describing how calendar dates are represented,
the same way as common knowledge on how calendar dates are represented. I
am surprised that the draft is "STANDARD track". Why? The only thing
might be that Tag 1004 is Text String, and Tag 100 is a negative integer.
Is it all for a RFC?
Section 1.3 states that Dates cannot be properly compared unless Time Zone is
attached. Strangely, the Time Zone is not included in the tag 1004 or Tag 100.
Why?
[JLS] Linda, This section deals not with comparing Dates with each other, but
comparing Dates with Date/Time Values. This would mean that comparing
01/01/2020 with 01/01/2020 3:59 PST does not make any sense because one has a
Time Zone and the other does not.
