Is/Can CBOR be canonicalized (like ASN.1, for example) for the purpose of unambiguous generation and interpretation of hashes?

EDIT: I am happy to see that it handles date-time. Not really my favorite part of the non-spec of JSON on that front...

You might be interested in IPLD in particular: https://ipld.io/

They use CBOR as the underlying serialization, and have a deep interest in canonicalization and applications of hashing.
