Netmod Working Group,
The presentation at IETF 116 on the YANG unknown bits typedef seemed to be
positively received.
I've updated the draft in version -02 to incorporate a hallway suggestion (from
Rob, I think?) to rename the bits from a pattern of "unknown-N" to "bit-N".
Please find the information for the updated draft pasted below my original
request for adoption.
Having given my presentation and seeing there seems to be interest in the work,
could we consider adoption?

Abstract:
Protocols frequently have fields where the contents are a series of
bits that have specific meaning. When modeling operational state for
such protocols in YANG, the 'bits' YANG built-in type is a natural
method for modeling such fields. The YANG 'bits' built-in type is
best suited when the meaning of a bit assignment is clear.
When bits that are currently RESERVED or otherwise unassigned by the
protocol are received, being able to model them is necessary in YANG
operational models. This cannot be done using the YANG 'bits' built-
in type without assigning them a name. However, YANG versioning
rules do not permit renaming of named bits.
This draft proposes a methodology to represent unknown bits in YANG
operational models and creates a YANG typedef to assist in uniformly
naming such unknown bits.
