Although the syntax of YANG has some heritage of SMIng (and I
generally appreciate references to SMIng for my ego ;-), I do not
consider this important enough to be mentioned. I also do not think
that the YANG version number matters in this context. Here is a quote
of the original charter (which is still in the current charter):

  The WG will define a "human-friendly" modeling language defining
  the semantics of operational data, configuration data,
  notifications, and operations.  This language will focus on
  readability and ease of use.  This language must be able to serve
  as the normative description of NETCONF data models.

So the text should perhaps read like this:

  The NETMOD Working Group was chartered to define a "human-friendly"
  modeling language called YANG [YANG] defining the semantics of
  operational data, configuration data, notifications, and
  operations. This language focuses on readability and ease of use and
  it serves as the normative description of NETCONF data models.
