All,

Lou and I were discussing how it seems unnecessary that every draft
has the same boilerplate text regarding how to interpret tree diagram
notations.  It would be nice if drafts could instead just reference
another draft that contains this information.  Does this make sense?

Assuming we're interested in having such a reference, we could define
a mini-RFC or, perhaps, leverage Section 3 of 6087bis (YANG Tree 
Diagrams).  Either way, we'd want/need to ensure the information
is updated in a timely manner.

Two reasons for why we may not want to pursue this are:
  1) we can’t update the reference fast enough
  2) drafts might add some proprietary annotations

Is this worth pursuing at all?

Thanks,
Kent
