Hi,

The text about invoking actions in RFC 7950, sec. 7.15 is not clear
about whether the ancestor data nodes have to exist.

sec 7.15.2, para 2:

   The <action> element contains a hierarchy of nodes that identifies
the node in the datastore.


The RFC does not say anything about if the data node is required to
exist or not.  There is no distinction between NP-container, P-container,
or list which are ancestors of the action node. It does not specify
which datastore, and that is not supplied in the <action> RPC.
The text specifies what must be in the <rpc> request, not in any datastore
or state data.

It seems like the intent is that no instance test is specified at all and
the corresponding ancestor nodes to the action node do not have to
exist for the action to be invoked. (The action may succeed or fail).
The issue is whether there is an existence-test before invoking the action.

Andy
