Re: [netmod] Last Call: draft-schoenw-netmod-rfc6021-bis-01 (20130204)

Hi,

I support moving this document forward, with two comments:

1. The second pattern for "yang-identifier" type can be slightly optimized:

OLD

    pattern '.|..|[^xX].*|.[^mM].*|..[^lL].*';

NEW

    pattern '..?|[^xX].*|.[^mM].*|..[^lL].*';

2. It would be safer to have types 'ipv[46]-address' (meaning no zone) and 'ipv[46]-address-with-zone' rather than 'ipv[46]-address' and 'ipv[46]-address-no-zone'. I know, it's an incompatible change, but I suspect that many implementers will not bother to look up the definition when seeing a type like 'ipv4-address' and assume a plain IPv4 address in that place. Such a mistake can easily create a security hole. The name 'ipv[46]-address-with-zone' makes the optional presence of a zone index explicit and eliminates this potential trap. Besides, it would also better fit the naming scheme of corresponding textual conventions in RFC 4001.

Lada
