Hi Acee,
You got it right (at least ChatGPT did :-).
There are a few more places where I see the discrepancy. And you are right that
rfc8407bis should provide some guidance if it does not already.
Section 1, paragraph 0
> This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] that can be used to
> manage OSPFv2 extensions for Segment Routing [RFC8665] and OSPFv3
> extensions for Segment Routing [RFC8666] for the MPLS data plane. It
> is an augmentation to the OSPF YANG data model [RFC9129].
Perhaps:
"This document defines a YANG 1.1 module [RFC7950] that can be used ..."
Section 2, paragraph 0
> This document defines a model for OSPF Segment Routing Extensions for
> both OSPFv2 [RFC8665] and OSPFv3 [RFC8666].
Perhaps,
"This document defines a module for OSPF Segment Routing Extensions ..."
Section 3, paragraph 0
> [RFC2328], [RFC4915], [RFC5340], [RFC6991], [RFC8102], [RFC8294],
> [RFC8349], [RFC9587], and [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-segment-routing-ti-lfa] are
> referenced in the YANG data model.
Perhaps:
"... referenced in the YANG data module."
Section 3, paragraph 2
> This YANG model conforms to the Network Management
> Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as described in RFC 8342.
Perhaps:
"This YANG module conforms to the Network Management ..."
Thanks.
