A YANG submodule is by definition incomplete. For example, a submodule
does not have a defined namespace. I think we should not waste effort
to expose submodules beyond what they were designed to be used for -
to break a really large module into pieces that can be edited more
easily independently.

If more granular mounts are needed, then we should IMHO _not_ bundle
this with the notion of YANG submodules. Perhaps you meant submodules
in a more generic way, but then perhaps:

s/of submodules/of parts of modules/

Reading the other text again, I am not sure what is meant by the
phrase "incorporation of the data model defined by one top-level
module". What exactly is a 'top-level module' (and does it matter, why
can I not mount a non-top-level module)? And does 'incorporation of
the data model' imply 'incorporation of the complete data model'?
