### Abstract

Should NETCONF and RESTCONF be called out ?

### Definition of immutable in section 1

` that cannot be modified by clients (that is, it is immutable)` is not really
correct. Immutable means that it never changes, 'cannot be modified by clients'
allows the server to change its read-only value, e.g., "CPU temperature" is
read-only (cannot be modified) but not immutable (as it can change).

### Which servers/clients in section 1

The text uses "server" and "client" without being specific about the
protocol... as the I-D updates the NETCONF/RESTCONF RFC, the reader can *guess*
that it is about "RESTCONF or NETCONF server"... Please avoid ambiguities in a
proposed standard...

### Section 11

My understanding based on the previous sections is that this flag is for
read-only stores, so, I wonder how could a sensible client send an edit request
to a read-only store ? `Clients can leverage this information to avoid sending
edit requests that would otherwise fail due to immutable nodes.` ?
