> In a number of descriptions in both ietf-yang-types and ietf-inet-types, the term "schema node" is used incorrectly in places where "leaf instance" or "instance of a leaf" should be used instead. However, not all occurences of "schema node" are wrong: schema nodes just have to be distinguished from nodes in an instance data tree.

Yes. I would probably prefer 'a data node instance of this type'
instead of 'a leaf instance' - I am not sure I would to exclude a
leaf-list and who knows whether we have any other data nodes in the
future. And yes, all occurances of 'schema node' need careful
inspection. I am not sure whether you want to identify all occurances
now or whether you wanted to have a generic errata just so that we do
not forget to fix this when this document is revised.
