So again, you think that 'schema > tree' is correct in the statement?
After reading the quoted thread and thinking some more, I think the text in 9.9 is in fact correct. As Lada wrote in that thread: 2. It [path] also implicitly refers to a leaf node in the schema [...] The problem is that this "implicit reference" isn't defined. 9.9 talks about reference to a schema node, and 9.9.2 talks about the data tree, but there is no text that ties these together. /martin _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list netmod@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
