Lada may not like this but since the two Well, I fully agree that YANG types should be authoritative but, strangely enough, it leads me to a completely different conclusion: If a leaf is defined as uint8, and both parties are supposed to know that, why should the sender want to encode it as string? > type systems do not align 1:1, I think giving the YANG type system > authority is the way to go. And the principle "the receiver converts > as needed" instead of throwing an error follows the Postel principle. If Postel principle is so great, why don't we allow 42.0 as a valid value of uint8? Why don't we allow "001.002.003.004" as a valid IPv4 address?
