I would suggest tweaking the order of the words slightly:
Old:
The interpretation of any *other character then* the ones listed above
following a backslash is undefined. Authors are advised to avoid using
such backslash sequences in double-quoted strings in their YANG
modules.
New:
The interpretation of any *character other than* the ones listed above
following a backslash is undefined. Authors are advised to avoid using
such backslash sequences in double-quoted strings in their YANG
modules.
Thanks,
Rob

Benoit,
RFC 6020 is ambiguous and this is just how it is. The solution for
YANG 1 is simply to give advice to module writers to avoid
ambiguous
character sequences (and avoiding ambiguity can be easily done).
YANG 1.1 fixes the ambiguity in YANG 1 but backporting this fix to
YANG 1 is a change of YANG 1, i.e., it might turn a conforming
implementation into a non-conforming implementation. Hence, this
may
go beyond the scope of an errata.
But it is not really the case here because it cannot be decided what
conforming means. I chose YANG 1.1 behaviour for my JS parser, and I
don't think it is less conforming than any other.
Exactly. But other interpretations are legal as well. We can not
retroactively turn so far conforming implementations of the RFC into
non-conforming implementations (via an errata that introduces a MUST
that was not there in the beginning).
This would be fine for the "Notes" part but RFC Errata require also
"Original Text" and "Corrected Text". Any suggestion for this?
Corrected Text
-------------
Within a double-quoted string (enclosed within " "), a backslash
character introduces a special character, which depends on the
character that immediately follows the backslash:
\n new line
\t a tab character
\" a double quote
\\ a single backslash
The interpretation of any other character then the ones listed above
following a backslash is undefined. Authors are advised to avoid
using
such backslash sequences in double-quoted strings in their YANG
modules.
OK, this looks good. Benoit, will you first reject the existing
errata?
Instead of rejected, I modified the errata 4911.
A final check please before I approve it.
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=4911
Hmm, I still just see the orignal errata text when I follow this link.
Now saved :-)
