I do have a question re: the rationale that is given in the document: " Today's 
Common practice is include the definition of the syntax used   to represent a 
YANG module in every document that provides a tree diagram.  This practice has 
several disadvantages and the purpose of   the document is to provide a single 
location for this definition. "

I am not sure how much simplification this will really bring - is the 
boilerplate paragraph we find in drafts with YANG tree diagrams today really 
that a big problem, specifically while the snippet is still small enough (and 
could arguably even be generated by pyang itself, if extended accordingly, for 
easy pasting into drafts)?  While having a common and consistent definition in 
a central location is appreciated, one implication as the tree notation evolves 
will be that documents may now have to be specific as to which notation 
revision is used (as the notation might be updated, revisions might need to be 
maintained, although it is understood that churn will be kept to a minimum).
