[BALAZS]: Your question is very valid, but it has some costs. A serious effort to bring the 
RelaxNg based solution to todays level in Yang would cost according to my guess at least 500 
manhours. After this we might still conclude that a domain specific effort (YANG) is better. 
Are you willing to get involved and invest 2 months (possibly more) of dedicated work?
