Hi Martin,

> I'd like to offer option 6.  Use the existing URI syntax from YANG.  It's a straight-up string, which is perfect because it avoids this whole mess entirely.

This is where the draft started, but the NETCONF WG objected due to it not having regular types with strong validation.  Hence the transition to a structured URI.  Going back to a "string" is not an real option.
