Per is right, it is not well-defined in RFC 8040 and the examples are counter-intuitive.
	- Please see https://github.com/netconf-wg/restconf-next/issues/5

Personally, I’d like file an errata to document that the example is wrong.  But, first, it would be good to know what leading RESTCONF implementations do.

Can we hear back from, e.g., Clixon, Confd, YumaPro devs?
