Hi,

    I was looking at how yd:yang-data (this draft) relates to
rc:yang-data (rfc8040).  The document seems to imply that this draft's
extension is a replacement in one place (see abstract) , is supplemental
in another (sec 1, plus augment-yang-data example) and perhaps
orthogonal in a final (that rc:yang-data is still used/referenced at
all).  I think the document should be clear as to it's objective with
respect to  rc:yang-data. 

As rc:yang-data is currently defined in a protocol specific way, I (with
any/all hats) would prefer to see a definition of yang-data that would
work for any protocol that encodes and transports yang.  I also
generally think that having two definitions for basically the same
mechanism isn't beneficial to implementors of IETF RFCs, so this leads
me to suggest that if this document becomes a WG document it should
deprecate rc:yang-data.
