Hi,
as discussed in the thread 'YANG 1.1: XML naming restriction', it
seems that the restriction that identifiers may not start with "xml"
is not necessary according to XML 1.0 (5th edition). In addition, it
seems the YANG 1.1 specification should have an explicit normative
reference to the XML specification it is based on. The suggested
document changes are detailed below (thanks to Martin for writing this
up). Please let the WG know by August 24th if you object against
implementing this change before YANG 1.1 is published.
