Move Section 2 text to Section 1, replacing the text that's there?

In the YANG module, facility-list is keyed by [facility severity], which
means the values are always present, right?

Looking at the tree-diagram, the 'tls' case doesn't seem to have the
address or port fields. FWIW, the ietf-tls-client module doesn't
provide these fields so that consuming modules can configure a normal
client versus a client listening for call-home connections...
+--:(tcp)
| +--rw tcp
| +--rw address? inet:host
| +--rw port? inet:port-number
+--:(udp)
+--rw udp
+--rw address? inet:host
+--rw port? inet:port-number
+--:(tls)
+--rw tls
<address/port missing here, right?>
+--rw server-auth

Fine, but let's re-evaluate the values now. Image having a variable x
and stepping through the selector list:
if x >= facility-list/severity then foo.
Now imagine it read:
if x >= 'all' then foo.
What integer value for 'all' would always ensure True? MIN-INT
Likewise, you can see that MAX-INT is the best value for 'none'.

Assuming xml2rfc XML, then you could convert the contents to a figure,
or a list with style='empty'
