Reading #5 again I must admit that I do not really understand what
this requirement tries to accomplish:
5. Ability for distinct modules to leverage a common model-structure
A. Focus on the IETF-defined modules, and ideally provides
guidance to other SDOs
B. Multiple domain-specific model-structure trees are okay
C. Model-structures may be defined in multiple modules with
distinct namespaces
At this level of abstraction, #5 really does not mean anything or N
people will have at least N different interpretations of it. I
actually think this should be taken out and moved into a different
document and then it requires to be developed into something much more
concrete.

I think this is getting into the wrong direction and as explained
above #5 is by far underspecified to be of any value. I suggest to
take it out so that we can publish the rest in a timely manner. The
alternative is to hold off this document in an attempt to replace #5
with something that is concrete and actionable.
