This was discussed back in 2009: 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/netmod/IYW1t0PX34cf2GEGAlM98XFOfKw


This thread ends w/o clear resolution, but I think that the proposal
in the last email in this thread (please read the thread) would be a
useful addition:


  After applying all deviations, in any order, the resulting data
  model MUST still be valid.  For example, it is an error to add a
  default value that doesn't match the type in a deviation.
