Agreed.   

The netconf-client-server and restconf-client-server drafts had “full” diagrams 
that were many pages long.  

Fixed by:

1) Introducing each grouping individually (I wrote a script to extract a 
particular grouping tree diagram)

2) Convert all diagrams to NOT expand groupings.  I.e., it prints just the 
grouping’s name. 

3) The text for each grouping includes the hyperlink to the other sections 
where the each used-grouping is defined. 

4) Remove from the document the mostly-useless super-long diagram.
