 1. We might want to support JSON too.
 2. We should be respecting HTTP headers.

 So:

 * Client must set encoding header when sending CBOR.
 * Client must set Accept header so it can receive CBOR.
 * Server must check for the Accept header when responding in CBOR.
 * Server must set encoding header when sending CBOR.
 * Refactor code so anything CBOR-specific is centralized, rather than
 scattered throughout the server/client implementations.
