Hi Tom, Joe,

Thanks for your review and comments. The issues will fixed in the next revision.

For 'leaf shared-secret', the following text will be added:
"It is highly recommended that shared keys are at least 32 characters long and 
  sufficiently complex with mixed different character types."

Best regards,
Bo

Good catch.  These two should be normalized.  Perhaps the better title is YANG 
module for TACACS+.
<tp>
or else
A YANG Module for TACACS+
I like the indefinite article there but it is perhaps a matter of taste

Yes, agreed.

Given the weakness, this couldn't hurt.  This could be called out in both 
Security Considerations as well as in the leaf description.  I like the cheeky 
notion of a '+' in the example.

<tp>
Yes, probably both.  I have signed up to a lot of services in lockdown and have 
been exposed to a wide variety of rules about permissible secrets.  One that 
caught my eye required nine characters while the one that has stayed with me 
forbad the use of punctuation!  I do think that for all the very clever things 
that come out of the IETF's Security Area, better guidance on the basics, such 
as entropy, would do a lot more to improve the Internet!
