OK -- good.
I think another sentence needs to be added.


NMDA compatibility conversion MAY be deferred if the module
does not contain any configuration datastore objects.

So a data node naming convention is needed?
And a module naming convention?

We need a rule that says the suffix "-state" is reserved for NMDA
compatibility
so module names and data nodes SHOULD NOT be named with an identifier that
ends in this suffix.

(Automation tools like deterministic rules, not naming conventions.
Here is an example why... there are always exceptions that do not follow
the conventions. Always people who are unaware of the conventions.)
