I did understand that you allow multiple targets. My question is if
all targets receive the same content, i.e., whether reset-datastore is
just N-times copy-config or whether there is more to it.

RFC 6241 page 43:
source: Name of the configuration datastore to use as the source
of the <copy-config> operation, or the <config> element
containing the complete configuration to copy.

I am not saying this is needed. I think the WG needs to discuss
whether all four options listed in section 2 of your I-D make sense.
Perhaps 1. and 3. are sufficient (except that I do not know exactly
how 1. is supposed to work).

Why would that be useful? The normal reset of <candidate> is to
<running>. <candidate> is an editing scratch pad - does it really
make sense to reset <candidate> to <factory-default> without
resetting <running>? What is the use case of this?
