wrt to "fail modules", there are two types of failures: pyang and idnits
pyang: should report this as a failure
idnits: I don't believe that a pyang error should prevent someone from 
posting a draft.

Expressed differently, I don't feel like evaluating every single pyang 
error, and arbitrarily selecting which ones should allow/prevent posting.

> (ii) need a way to follow dependencies on modules in other namespaces.
Right. As far as I know, there are not even tools to follow dependencies 
within the same namespace. Would be happy to stand corrected...

Great. thanks
