Hmmm, I'd not heard of that. But let me also quote this part of the same errata, which is the new version of section 3: >> This specification does not constrain the application semantics, use, >> or (beyond syntax) names of the element types and attributes, except >> that names beginning with "xml:" are reserved for standardization in >> this or future specifications from the XML Core Working Group or its >> successors. If I read everything correctly, the only reserved names are now: - beginning with "xml:" (the revised XML spec) - the attribute "xmlns" (XML Namespaces spec) - attributes beginning "xmlns:" (XML Namespaces spec) - the attributres "xml:base" and "xml:id" (other XML specs, per Wikipedia) And it seems that the only way to use Yang to cause the creation of an XML name that violates those rules is to define a prefix "xml", which will appear on element names. But maybe even that one exclusion isn't true, since the use of a Yang prefix as an XML namespace name is not mandatory; the processor is allowed to use a different prefix if there is a "conflict".
