----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to the authors and the WG for their work on their document.

I have two meta topics which I would like to discuss.

1) The link-attr-op-mode knob is not clear since it is neither offering
detailed description nor referencing the RFC 9479 subsections.

      choice link-attr-op-mode {
        default "legacy"; >>> Why is this the default? Is that coming from
        RFC9479? leaf legacy {
          type empty;
          description
            "Only send legacy advertisements."; >>> What does this mean? Not
            send via ASLA but only legacy advertisements (sec 3) or send via
            ASLA with the L-bit (sec 4.2)?
        }
        leaf transition {
          type empty;
          description
            "Send both application-specific and legacy
             advertisements."; >>> What does this mean? Is there a reference
             from the base RFC on how this is supposed to work?
        }
        leaf app-specific {
          type empty;
          description
            "Only send application-specific advertisements."; >>> If there is a
            compulsion to pick a default (I think there shouldn't be one?),
            then I would pick this one.
        }
        description
          "Link attributes mode. Default to legacy mode for
           backward compatibility.";
      }

Based on my understanding of RFC9479, we can only think of an enablement knob
for ASLA advertisements at global level. The L-bit is perhaps something to
control under the interface config under isis-asla. It could also be global if
there is a desire to support hierarchical config for just the app selection
(SABM/UDABM) and the L-bit setting.

2) When new sub-sub-TLVs are introduced under ASLA sub-TLV or under FAD
sub-TLV, how does the current structure make augmentation of the module easy
and straightforward? I am not a YANG expert and hence I would like to
cross-check.
