So you think the use of 'schema tree' in the text quoted above (is
used to identify the referred leaf or leaf-list node in the schema
tree) is correct??

I do not want to discuss whether you like the design of leafrefs or

or not given the design we have. So again, you think that 'schema
tree' is correct in the statement?
