Juergen,

How do you feel about the proposed modification on the table? (Leaving the model defined config leaves untouched and adding a -CFG or -metadata sibling node which would contain the additional automatically generated leaves.)

Hi Juergen,

I don't really follow your point.

The solution is fully backward compatible - in that only clients that
make use of the protocol extension would see the new encoding. Existing
clients would continue to see the encoding as directly defined in the
YANG schema, and a server would be able to support old and new clients
concurrently.


The YANG RFC details how data is encoded in XML. People have written
and deployed code against based on this RFC. I do not accept an
approach where an RPC option can simply request that the encoding
defined in the YANG RFC is ignored and replaced with a very different
encoding.
