I hate embedding my YANG modules into an I-D (or RFC).

The YANG module has very very poor textual properties; no sections,
references.  Non-existant formatting, very short lines after indenting
sensibly for RFC publication.

Personally, as things are, I want to put as *FEW* details in my YANG
description as possible, and put as much as I can in the more easily
manipulated I-D.  BUT, that's not really a useful direction as YANG modules
become separated from the I-D/RFC.

If I had my druthers, it would be the YANG MODULE that was assembled from
snippets of YANG spread throughout the I-D, not the I-D that was generated
from the YANG (as Jeff suggested).  Like Jupyter worksheets.
Given that it's not going that way, I would encourage:

1. YANG as a first-class DT object, in parallel with I-Ds.
2. relaxing/changing the YANG textual format to allow for better editorial 
control.
3. stop treating YANG as a weird kind of RFC, to be reviewed in the same way.

Many recent documents have been processed as an (1)RFC w/semantics + (2)RFC 
w/YANG.
So that (2) can be revised easier.   Just stop making (2) an RFC.
Make (2) like all other reference code.
