Listing and enumerating stuff is AFAIK quite at the core of YANG, so it could have been define as something like “reference-list”, if folks focus had been programatic use. 
Yet the respective chapter YANG RFC 6020 section-7.19.4, updated in YANG 1.1 RFC 7950. section-7.21.4, says:

  The "reference" statement takes as an argument a string that is a
  human-readable cross-reference to an external document 

If we look at the content in the IANA “reference” field today, in the table at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters/dns-parameters.xhtml#dns-parameters-4
it seems that it is quite varied:

* one of more comma seperated RFC numbers
* name of an internet draft in edgy brackets, 
* a footnote number in edgy brackets
* a name reference of an author 
* a name reference of some underlying additional document
* a URL of some underlying additional document
* the IANA reservation statement, aka [IANA-Reserved]
as well as
* combinations of some of the before listed, assumedly with some implicit hierarchy of records where such combinations are used.

For this YANG draft, I don’t see a need to normalise types and structure within this content beyond what is at IANA today. TO me its OK to just reference the IANA content "as is” and formally maintain the YANG declaration in "reference” as "human targeted”.


> Also, the "template" and "registration date" fields appear to  be missing.

Do you see a need to replicate all the data fields of this IANA registry in the YANG model, and if yes, what benefit at the YANG end could this add?
