Re: [netmod] Status update on <draft-wu-netmod-yang-xml-doc-conventions-01>

[Juergen Schoenwaelder <[e-mail]>]

I think the title of the document is misleading. The convention for
expressing YANG in XML is called YIN, defined in RFC 7950. There are
other phrases that I find misleading, for example, Automatic
Generation of Valid XML From Examples. For me, the example is the XML
(or JSON) and what you call an example is the encoding of an XML in
the RFC format and what you define is an RFC format qencoding and a
decoding function. Perhaps it helps to properly define the terminology
you use and then to go through the document to make sure terms are
used consistently.
