Hi,

None of the operations that accept or return datastore contents expose the
datastore objects
in the RPC parameters.  They are always anyxml or anydata. This means that
there are no descendant data nodes defined at all according to the RPC
operation
and therefore the constraints on those nodes do not exist in the RPC
operation either.
