Yes, I think this is correct: the ietf-ospf module imports the
ietf-interfaces module, so the latter has to be specified in the YANG
library of the mounted schema with "import" conformance.

This is wrong, parent-reference adds nothing to the schema, only to the
accessible tree for XPath evaluations.
