Yes. And I think it would be also nice if standard NETCONF operations
could be defined in YANG itself; would be a nice proof of concept.  (I
know the unfortunate attribute usage in edit-config - so this might be
the only thing we need to handle in the DESCRIPTION clause.)

Correct, this is needed. I think error-info is actually not much
different from in and out parameters where we also use standard YANG
constructs.
