 RFC 8949. The main part missing is sorting of maps when encoding.
 
 No detailed code size comparison has been made, but in a spot check
-encoding a single integer, the library code brought in from QCBOR was
-30% smaller than that of TinyCBOR. QCBOR's internal dependency is minimal
-so only necessary library code is brought it when only a minimum of
-QCBOR's functions are used. In total QCBOR has more functionality so
-if all of it is used, it is of course much larger.
+that encodes and decodes a single integer shows QCBOR about 25%
+larger.  QCBOR encoding is actually smaller, but QCBOR decoding is
+larger. This includes the code to call the library, which is about the
+same for both libraries, and the code linked from the libraries. QCBOR
+is a bit more powerful, so you get value for the extra code brought
+in, especially when decoding more complex protocols.
 
 QCBOR tracks encoding and decoding errors internally so the caller
 doesn't have to check the return code of every call to an encode or
