Sure, but it is not necessary, I meant it just as an option. Such YANG modules can be passed straight to tools. > Offline tools need to know about the special data somehow. Why? Let's say I want the ascii tree, and pyang will be able to generate it. All right, there will be "rw" labels that don't apply but it is not a big deal. > The yang-data extension prevents data-def-stmts from being treated > as if they were configuration or operational data. This would be a problem if this yang-data is mixed with standard data in the same module. IMO this can be avoided, and then for it is essentially irrelevant for tools whether it is normal data or not. > > I agree with you that unconstrained use of yang-data is questionable > for a standard extension.

Yes, and so my proposal here is to silently misuse YANG somewhat where necessary rather than spend cycles on a Standard Track document that gives a false impression of a general solution. It would be great to remove NETCONF specifics from YANG and I'd be willing to contribute to this work.
