I think the editors of the document reached the conclusion that the xpath context rules stated in section 5.1. are the only meaningful interpretation which is consistent with what RFC 7950 says. The question is whether the text 'changes' the xpath context, or 'refines' the xpath context, or 'clarifies' the xpath context. On a synchronous system (where intended config and applied config never differ), there is no change at all. That said, I have no strong opinion about the question whether section 5.1 requires an 'Updates: RFC 7950' or not. I do not think section 5.1 is relevant for a system that uses RFC 7950 without implementing NMDA and hence the value of having a forward pointer from RFC 7950 to NMDA is likely not critical to have. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
