Hi,

I've got a question about the appropriate error to return (if indeed it
is an error) in the following case.  If I have a top-level YANG
container node in my configuration that's non-presence, then there are 2
possible responses:

(a) config present, returned, no error

(b) no config present, no data returned

Is the latter an error case (eg 'unknown-element') or should that only
be returned for a node that cannot exist, rather than one that simply
doesn't exist in the current configuration?

I've looked at RFC-6241, but didn't find the error descriptions terribly
helpful.

Thanks,

William
