Hi, I have read yang-data-ext.
It seems critical that the document be adopted so that we may reference
it in the ANIMA WG voucher documents.

In particular we are using exactly the functionality of augmenting a
data structure from one protocol to another from document to document.
The current augment mechanism works, but only because we have
constrained ourselves to what it offers, having a more general mechanism
is very welcome.

I would appreciate a more complex example, and I wonder if the example
given (with foo.yang and bar.yang) really belongs withing the YANG
description itself.
