Hi Rob/All, Keep in mind that the document says what it says and that to change text really requires a new version. On 10/8/2018 6:01 AM, Robert Wilton wrote: > So there seem to be two available solutions here: > > (i) The server MUST provide an origin value for the top level datanode, This is pretty close to what Andy previously quoted: md:annotation origin { type origin-ref; description "The 'origin' annotation can be present on any configuration data node in the operational state datastore. It specifies from where the node originated. If not specified for a given configuration data node, then the origin is the same as the origin of its parent node in the data tree. The origin for any top-level configuration data nodes must be specified."; } I think it's clear that the reviewers, notably myself as shepherd, missed that this is a lowercase "must" and should have asked for clarification during the review process. Having an errata saying this "must" really is a "MUST" is quite reasonable from my perspective. > but for NP containers it can use whatever origin value it likes - since > the origin value imparts no direct meaning other than the default origin > that descendants acquire if they haven't provided an explicit origin. > In this case we would probably add a line of text to clarify this > behavior of choosing a suitable origin value for top level NP containers. I guess I'd need to see that specific language to understand if a new requirement or recommended behavior is being prescribed. If it is, we need a new document to do so. > (ii) The requirement is weakened as Juergen has described previously. > > > Solution (i) minimizes the impact of the change to the RFC, but probably > constrains server implementations slightly more than is strictly required. > > Solution (ii) gives a bit more flexibility to server implementations but > in theory could break client implementation that rely on a top level > origin always being provided.

But how > do we get to a final decision? Either we agree that s/must/MUST in an errata or start a new (update or bis) draft to update the behavior. It would also be fine to flag the issue in the errata without specific resolution, with the understanding that the issue would need to be resolved, in an update or bis, at some point in the future.
