In the draft phase of RFC 9108 we first had the initial version of iana-dns-class-rr-type module, pretty much along the lines of RFC 7224. But some people in the DNSOP ML objected (e. g. [1]) to having an RFC that seems up to date according to IETF rules but contains an obsolete revision of a YANG module. It's true that the purpose of such an RFC is only to give instructions to IANA how to generate future revisions of the module, and so some kind of a template for the YANG module would be better than just an example of the initial version. And XSLT looked like the best of the available template languages, also because IANA publishes their registries in the XML format, too. The template approach could also allow for keeping IANA completely out of the loop, which IMO would be helpful. For practical reasons, we had not attempted this for RFC 9108, but later I tried to make a repository of XSLT stylesheets for DNS-related IANA registries: https://github.com/llhotka/iana-yang (see also ML thread [2]). Preparing similar stylesheets for all IANA registries would be quite some work, but it could be approached on as-needed basis.
