Hi Donald,

I think I disagree with that opinion.  For what it's worth, and unless
I've missed something, neither RFC 2328 (which is one of my favourite
RFCs) nor RFC 4271 (of which Susan happens to be a co-author) say anything
about management.  The only place I can find anything about management in
RFC 5340 is the reference to the MIB.

> Management messages are sent on-the-wire.

It's a different (virtual) wire.

I am fairly sure that such a statement would not reflect WG consensus.
Requiring a full YANG implementation (which includes, for a start, an XML
parser) in every Babel implementation would be a sure way to kill the
protocol.

> and providing some specific enumeration of the knobs

I believe that would be Appendix B.
