Folks,

Here are some of my comments regarding the Yang draft (draft-birkholz-rats-basic-yang-module-01).

-- The draft needs could benefit from opening text to describe the purpose of Yang and the broader background context (e.g. maybe a couple of paragraphs explaining the use cases of the composite-device, such as constrained environments like IoT).

-- It would be useful to provide a basic definition of a “composite-device” as the reader may not be familiar with this.  The terminology draft (draft-birkholz-attestation-terminology-02) does not actually define it, unless I missed it.

-- Would it be useful to provide a paragraph that explains to the reader that some matching reference values (i.e. matching the tree) are expected to be possessed by the Verifier for each client composite-device that seeks to be verified.
