I have a question on the example in RFC8641 under 3.7 Streaming Updates
In Figure 2, an example of a `push-change-update` shows a `replace` operation, critically
perhaps, with a <target> of the root container `/ietf-interfaces:interfaces`. The
value is specified also starting at the root node <interfaces> and a specific list
object with key name `eth0` is given; the only leaf given other than the key is
`oper-status` for the specific interface.
```
<notification xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">
<eventTime>2017-10-25T08:22:33.44Z</eventTime>
<push-change-update
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-push">
<id>89</id>
<datastore-changes>
<yang-patch>
<patch-id>0</patch-id>
<edit>
<edit-id>edit1</edit-id>
<operation>replace</operation>
<target>/ietf-interfaces:interfaces</target>
<value>
<interfaces
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
<interface>
<name>eth0</name>
<oper-status>down</oper-status>
</interface>
</interfaces>
</value>
</edit>
</yang-patch>
</datastore-changes>
</push-change-update>
</notification>
```
This primarily came up b/c I'm trying to figure out what format the <value> should
take and what the <target> should be (in my case actually for RESTCONF).
Anyway my question is this, doesn't this example direct the receiver to delete
all other interfaces and also delete (or return to default) all the rest of the
state in the `eth0` list object while only setting the `oper-state` value? This
is not the intention of the document I don't believe, I think the document is
trying to show how to replace the single oper-state value not delete all other
interface state.
With RESTCONF transactions normally you provide the data "rooted" at the given target
resource. With NETCONF and XML many (most/all?) times I believe the data is rooted at the actual root
of the module. But even if the <value> data is correct here, shouldn't the <target>
actually point at the `oper-state` leaf itself?
Thanks,
Chris.
