Hi,
if we have

is the "when" expression supposed to be evaluated separately in each
datastore,
and the augment applied only in those datastores where the result is true?
Yes.
But then it cannot be guaranteed that the schema for <operational> is a superset
of the schema of configuration datastores - the when expression can evaluate to
false in <operational> but true in <intended>.
I think that comes down to terminology, RFC 7950 section 7.21.5 on when
statements just talks about making data definition statements
conditional. I don't really think that when statements (or choice
statements) change the schema associated with a datastore, they just
make parts of it inactive based on the current data. I.e. you wouldn't
expect different information to be returned via YANG library depending
on how particular when statements in the implemented modules get evaluated.
Is seems to me that the when processing falls out quite naturally. Is
there a scenario where you think that this could cause a problem?
Thanks,

RFC 7950 says in sec. 7.21.5 that the context node for XPath evaluation is
"the
augment's target node in the data tree", but with NMDA we have multiple data
trees, hence multiple target nodes.
We had multiple datastores even before NMDA. The when expression
could be true in candidate but false in running.
