Then we have the case I objected to and the example:

YANG 1.0:

augment "/if:interfaces/if:interface" {
     container inet {
         must "../name = 'me0'" {
             description
                  "The inet container is only valid for the management 
('me0') interface.";
         }
         leaf address {
             type inet:ip-prefix;
         }
     }
}

YANG 1.1 (replace "../name = 'me0'" with "../name='me0' or not 
(./address)" and process 95 unnecessary Xpath evaluations).

I think this proves the argument that there will be more unnecessary 
Xpath processing. In addition it illustrates how a simple task requires 
ugly patch (the ".. or not (./address)" added to the must expression) 
just to ensure the expression does not fail in the default case where 
the interface is not named "me0" and the user has not even attempted to 
create empty /interfaces/interface/inet container in YANG 1.1.
