The question is where is the misunderstanding. "If a node that exists in the accessible tree has a non-presence container as a child, then the non-presence container also exists in the tree." What does this mean? I believe there is confusion based on "the tree" refering not to the data tree but the Xpath context. At least I hoped until I realized the text was introduced as a solution to Y41 'clarification of "must" in NP-container'. That definitely means it addresses the must statements in the non-presence containers and it means "the tree" as in the data tree. 1. If "then the non-presence container also exists in the tree." is refering to the Xpath context and not the data tree (which is not obvious since nowhere is the Xpath context introduced as "the tree") then the Xpath validation statements in the non-presence container do not have to be evaluated. The only effect is that other Xpath expressions testing for the existence of the non-presence container will return true. 2. If the meaning is that the non-presence container exists virtually in the data tree and its pertaining Xpath expressions have to be evaluated then there is a problem. Then it is not only that many unnecessary Xpath evaluations will be processed but also designers have to make sure their Xpath expressions do not fail when the non-presence container is not even created (it is not a problem if the user attempts to create it empty then at least there is some bad initiative from him asking for error message). Like in the example there will be 95 errors for all containers not part of the interface named "me0". There can never be a valid configuration for YANG 1.1 for this example. If the must statement is modified from must "../name = 'me0'" to "../name='me0' or not (./address)" then it will work as intended in YANG 1.0 with the overhead of 95 unnecessary evaluations. If the text you propose is added without the current text removed it will be even more difficult to understand the clarification. Vladimir
