I think RESTCONF violates sec 2.3 wrt/ structure within the URI path.
<snip/>

I agree with Andy that RESTCONF violates section 2.3.  I also think that we can remove that violation by supporting "well-known" URIs.  Notice that the 2nd paragraph in section 2.3 says "The only exception to this requirement is registered 'well-known' URIs, as specified by [RFC5785]."   My reading is, if we use a "well-known" URI, then our subtree can defined sub-structure per RESTCONF convention.

We discussed using well-known URIs before.   Appendix B.3. in the RESTCONF draft ("Open Issues") regards ".well-known usage".  This issue was closed with the resolution "not needed in RESTCONF".   We may need to revisit that decision now.

Thanks,
Kent
