OK, so lets go with option 3.

    Hello, Joe, Jurgen,

    RFC6020 doesn't really register� file extensions, but rather media types.
    I don't feel we need a new mediatype for this as we really use json and
    xml. However I see it useful to document in the file extension that this
    is not just any plain old XML; it is yang instance data in XML format.�
    Alternatives:

     1. Use the .yid file extension (my favorite)
     2. Use 2 separate file extensions: .yidxml, .yidjson
     3. just use .xml and .json

I would have used .json or .xml; the content of the file after all is
self-describing and tools like 'file' might learn how to recognize the
content. Extensions like .yidxml and .yidjson looks a bit horrible to
me and so far I never had any real problems using .json and .xml for
arbitrary json and xml files (and .json and .xml helps generic tools
so calling it .yid means that I have to go and teach tools that .yid
is either .json and .xml). Try loading .json and .xml in your
favourite editor and then load a .yid file. Big difference for my
editor. So from my perspective, do nothing (and then people and tools
will likely use option 3).
