Hi Tom,

Thanks a lot for your review and valuable comments.

We have just posted a new -10 revision addressing them.

Please find in-line below a couple of additional comments/questions that deserve further discussion.

[[Italo Busi] ] With the /te:input/, the code will not pass compilation with pyang 2.1.
Removing it, the code will not pass compilation with pyang 1.7.5 and it seems that there is no way to constraints some data on the RPC output based on same attribute in the RPC input.

[[Italo Busi] ] We do not know how to get the DOI for I-D references ...
