Hi,

the second bullet of Appendix A in
draft-ietf-netmod-yang-instance-file-format-00 talks about
validity. This would make sense if we have a complete schema - YANG
modules, even with revisions, is not enough. The schema can be provided
off-line but it can also be specified as a part of the metadata.

I would suggest to extend the metadata with the following two optional
methods of specifying the schema:

1. the schema can be specified in-line, for example in the format of the
   new YANG library, i.e. as a list of module-sets

2. A URL specifying the location of the schema.

Lada
