One of the benefits of having rw/ro in the ascii tree is to see > where a state data subtree actually starts.
It is a default, but yes, it is also a restriction in the specific case of the argument being "false" at a point where the default would otherwise be "true". And in that case it is equivalent to having "config false" on all the descendant data nodes, and they will of course be flagged as "ro" regardless of whether the "config false" comes from the choice or the individual data nodes - and that is where the state *data* suntree(s) actually start(s). So I guess the question then is whether this specific case motivates always having flags on specifically choice nodes, while the other non-data nodes have no flags. Since the 'config' statement is ignored in rpc/action input/output and notification, choice nodes there should then presumably have "-w"/"ro"/"-n". Personally I think the diagram is clearer with flags only on the data nodes. --Per > Lada > >> >> --Per >> >>> Lada >>> >>>> >>>> >>>> This means that the correct tree syntax for choice and case will be: >>>> >>>> +-- (subnet)? >>>> +-- :(prefix-length) >>>> | +--rw prefix-length? uint8 >>>> +-- :(netmask) >>>> +--rw netmask? yang:dotted-quad >>>> >>>> >>>> /martin >>>> >>>> >>>>> The document (as far as I searched for it) does not clearly say that >>>>> 'node' means 'schema node'.
