I think RESTCONF violates sec 2.3 wrt/ structure within the URI path.
This is by design.  The document complains about ad-hoc mechanisms,
and RESTCONF is in complete agreement with that.  The RESTCONF
mapping of data nodes to resource identifiers is the opposite of ad-hoc.
It allows multi-vendor naming without collisions and dramatically
improved application efficiency.  (It is arguable that configuration
management
of complex routers would be impossible with a robust schema language
like YANG).
