Comments:

I am not commenting on the TLS 1.0 and 1.3 onging discussions.
The WG decision does not impact the YANG module review.

1) Measuring Interoperability for groupings and identities

[same comment for SSH and TLS drafts]

These modules are intentionally abstract.
There are no protocol-accessible objects defined at all.
Interoperability is usually measured in the context of a
specific protocol (e.g., NETCONF).

There is an assumption that interoperability will be achieved
by some other RFCs that will have "uses" statements to create
protocol-accessible or otherwise implementable objects.

There is also an assumption that the groupings will be used the
same everywhere, and the only difference will be the
path from root to the objects in these groupings.
In fact, the "refine" statement allows each usage to be
different.

Perhaps the drafts should mention these interoperability issues.


2)  mandatory choice of only optional-to-implement cases

The choice /ietf-tls-client:client-identity/auth-type
is mandatory but all cases have if-feature-stmts.
Does draft mention 1 of the 4 features MUST be implemented?
