I brought this up awhile back.

Not only is the YANG schema replaced by some "formula", there is no
indication
in the <rpc-reply> at all that this is being done.  Only the sender of the
<rpc> knows
that the special encoding rules are used instead of the YANG rules.
IMO, this solution is a non-starter.
