The new sentence is this:




[Yeah, I suggested removal so the new sentence is empty.]

PS: I do not mind if somewhere there is an example stated. But even
    then I would prefer something like this:

      For example, instance data of the <running> configuration
      datastore is encoded similar to the response of a NETCONF
      <get-config> operation on the <running> datastore or a GET
      method invocation on the <running> datastore resource and it
      will be embedded into a container together with the metadata
      describing the instance data.

    (I prefer to avoid NETCONF GET and the RESTCONF unified datastore
    since they have issues. But if people insist on an example using
    operations that have issues, I will keep my mouth shut.)
