The NEW text is wrong.
6.3. Statements
A YANG module contains a sequence of statements. Each statement
starts with a keyword, followed by zero or one argument, followed
either by a semicolon (";") or a block of substatements enclosed
within braces ("{ }"):
statement = keyword [argument] (";" / "{" *statement "}")
The argument is a string, as defined in Section 6.1.2.
This seems clear to me that any characters interpreted to be part of
[argument]
are not interpreted as a comment. A quoted string as [argument] is taken
in its entirety as part of a YANG statement.
