Re: analysis of YANG vs. RELAX NG

Hi Juergen,

If you want to do strict validation of things like RPC methods on the
receiving implementation, the implementation can contain a list of all the
RPC methods it supports (an effective schema). If this level of validation
is not desired, we can ignore this concept.
