Re: [netmod] origin annotation against non-presence container (potential error in RFC 8526)

Thanks Jurgen. That didn't occur to me but I can see how that could work. The origin declaration can be present in any element and inherited by descendants, but only actually applies to everything except np-containers.  (the sentence I quoted does indeed say " applies to" which doesn't preclude declaring against).
