I disagree that the datastore model is a protocol specific aspect. I
consider datastores an architectural component binding data models and
protocols together. In fact, the 'traditional' datastore model
together with the semantics of the <get/> operation caused us to write
data models in a very specific way. Since the number of protocols
transporting YANG defined data is growing, it is crucial that
architectural aspects are more clearly spelled out as such. (And the
only architectural document we have so far was done in NETMOD. But at
the end, I find the discussion which WG is responsible somewhat
pointless, it is the same set of active technical contributors
anyway.)

If there is an opportunity to update all core documents together, we
may clean up some of this; so far, we never had such an opportunity.
