Here is the YANG for edit-config?
Please point out the when-stmts in this rpc-stmt
specific to the "interface" node.
I just see an "anyxml" that has no when-stmts at all.

So enforcing the when constraint on the RPC PAYLOAD
clearly has nothing to do with "interface" -- just the parameters
specified in the rpc-stmt.

edit-config is the next section  -- 8.2.2
