I think that it is quite likely that this will get fixed in YANG 1.2.

It is being tracked as a potential issue for YANG 1.2 here, 
https://github.com/netmod-wg/yang-next/issues/83, which means that this issue 
should at least be discussed/considered for the next version of YANG.

If there are particular points of clarification that you think are 
important/required then adding them as comments to that github issue would be 
helpful.

Thanks,
Rob
