It is certainly more correct than "data tree". The assumption is that the "path" statement (that by definition selects some instance nodes in the data tree) also implicitly points to a leaf or leaf-list node iin the schema tree. > > I do not want to discuss whether you like the design of leafrefs or > not here - at this time we should focus on whether the text is correct > or not given the design we have. So again, you think that 'schema > tree' is correct in the statement? There are two problems with it: 1. There may be no such schema node, because it can be possibly invalidated by a "when" expression. 2. The term "value space" is not defined.
