Hello Andy,
You yourself sad that XSD is
- write-only
- prone to errors
- you yourself choose not to use it
- is like programming in assembler

(Which I fully agree with.)

I am surprised that you still want it as the main modeling language for Netconf.

The fact that IETF could not agree on SMIng should not just mean that we avoid modeling in the 
future, but also that we accept, that there is a stronger need for compromise.

As I see it, a  good part of SMIng's problem were due to compatibility constraints with SNMP, 
which is less of a problem for a Netconf modeling language.

Balazs
