In other words, the client has to understand that the schema it uses is
not compatible with the one used by the server. Would it be a problem to
require that e.g., with every change in the data model proper the major
revision number must be increased and also the namespace URI changed?

The minor revision number then could be used for indicating cosmetic
changes in the YANG document not affecting the data model.
