Hi,

if we have

augment "/target/node" {
  when "...";
  ...
}

is the "when" expression supposed to be evaluated separately in each datastore,
and the augment applied only in those datastores where the result is true?

RFC 7950 says in sec. 7.21.5 that the context node for XPath evaluation is "the
augment's target node in the data tree", but with NMDA we have multiple data
trees, hence multiple target nodes.

Lada
