CORECONF has this simple unified datastore model.

I do believe that creating candidates may make sense as an extension.

Our main concern will then be how to keep a tab on these candidates (e.g., have a clear way how to garbage-collect them, make them work when you only can have a very small number of them).
The concerns should be similar to those discussed here of RESTCONF, except that tying the candidates to client-identities may not work too well (we’d rather model them as resources, I think).
