Hi Lada, 

> Another option, also suggested in DNSOP WG, was to enable YANG to refer directly to the IANA registry.

For crypto types, I don’t know if this it possible, as there may be many registries involved. 

Regardless, what is it that is doing the referring?  an identityref?  there needs to be a module update, not just a ref, right?  or do you mean that the type is “string” and the values are documented to be from said IANA registries?


> The problem with this is that we have no formalism for writing such templates.

True.

I don’t understand.  Can you give a sketch of what you have in mind?
