I guess if you wanted to create the most complex module possible,
using an XPath instance-identifier as a list key is a good start.
It's too bad we can't use the RESTCONF path URI string as an i-i:
- the only representation is also the canonical representation
- the list keys are much less verbose (required to be in schema order)
- percent-encoded chars are allowed, which are simpler than character
entities
and much simpler than the concat() function
- no use of prefix mappings at all so i-i strings are complete and
permanent
