Hi,

I think the call for how NETCONF handles this is not for me, or ART ADs...
Andy or Charles are welcome to disagree with me though : )
I like the suggestion to choose a name that signals these are not
equivalent in expressiveness to URIs... like "structured-connection-string"
or something to that effect.

Regards,

OS
