This issue IMO has more to do with the "mandatory" statement under 
"choice". Similar problems can be caused by data nodes that depend 
on "when". For example:

choice sel {
    madatory true;
    leaf foo {
        when "...";
        ...
    }
    leaf bar { ... }
    leaf baz { ... }

If "foo" exists in instance data but its when condition becomes 
false, the server is expected to remove the "foo" instance, but 
what next? The data becomes invalid, but the server can hardly 
include "bar" or "baz" on its own.
