This may be quite confusing. My suggestion for "use-schema" is "external augment" - the mount point as a *schema node* plays a very similar role to the target node of an augment. > > Perhaps they could/should have entirely separate YANG models to describe > them. Possibly in the "use-schema" case could refer to grafting a > schema into a parent schema rather than mounting it. I proposed this previously. The inline case could in fact be considerably simplified because the extension statement is all that's needed - no state data. In other words, the "mount-point" extension would immediately indicate the inline mount. In order to distinguish the use-schema case (or whatever we call it) we have then two options: 1. use a different YANG extension for labelling mount points of this type 2. use schema node identifiers as in augments (i.e. no extension at all).
