Hello,

A few of us in the routing area architecture yang DT discussed
this draft yesterday and had a couple of comments, (note that the
open config contributors who are members of the design team did
not participate in this discussion):

- that with tooling, it is possible for the models available
using your extension have important similarities to the model
conventions proposed by open config. We think it would be worth
mentioning that tooling extensions could be used to auto generate
both yang and tree formats that would be effectively available
using the extension.

- we think there is significant value in having a tools based
approach which uses existing models, and which keeps config nodes
in unmodified locations. Chris Hopps came up with the idea of a
minor change to your extension where instead of adding 4 new
config leaf values cfg-* replacing the original leaf, the three
new leaf values would be added underneath a sibling node, perhaps
called <leaf>-cfg.  The benefit of this is that user code would be
the same with respect to intended config with or without your
extension. This also addresses the list index problem.

- also from Chris: it would be useful to have a way of retrieving
intended config along with any applied config that differs from
the intended config, e.g. with-config-state=intended+diff-cfg.

Thoughts?

Lou (with Chris)
