No one seemed to care in the years the WG was working on these documents.

Those documents are just recently published.  How about filing a Technical 
Erratum to convert them all?  The data model would be unaffected...

Perhaps use "-g" instead of "-grouping"?

The goal for the YANG to be readable.  I created this convention in order to 
make it more readable, because otherwise it became confusing when "foo" could 
be a a substring found in many identifiers (module names, groupings, 
containers, etc.).  I had issues trying to navigate the modules before, which 
resolved after introducing the typing convention.

I personally think there is bike-shedding going on here, and the 8407bis 
guidance is overreaching.  Strange how no one asked me why I did this, to seek 
for a solution that addresses the issue I ran into.
