Let's continue this discussion on the other thread with Rob Wilton.

I think that the scope is covered in the other thread.

Correct, we’re trying to decouple NETMOD from this, which entails, in 
part, factoring-out some protocol specifics while factoring-in the
context that YANG expects to be used in.
