I honestly don’t know what I’d add. While sometimes the abstract/introduction 
of documents do
not adequately articulate the document purpose and scope, the succinct text 
below is clear (at least to me):


      This document defines a YANG data model augmenting the IETF OSPF
      YANG model to provide support for OSPFv3 Link State Advertisement (LSA) 
Extensibility
      as defined in RFC 8362. OSPFv3 Extended LSAs provide extensible TLV-based 
LSAs for the
      base LSA types defined in RFC 5340.

What is missing here?

One area of confusion that it would be good for you to get the message out, is 
that operational state  is
typically validated prior to being returned and the data is typically not 
validated by the YANG infra-structure
(al though types must still match). As you know, this is being addressed in RFC 
8407BIS. 


Thanks,
Acee
