It helps me and likely also others if we can nail things down and be
explicit. Are you talking about:

RFC 6020:

   ;; An identifier MUST NOT start with (('X'|'x') ('M'|'m') ('L'|'l'))
   identifier          = (ALPHA / "_")
                         *(ALPHA / DIGIT / "_" / "-" / ".")

RFC 7991:

   identifier          = (ALPHA / "_")
                         *(ALPHA / DIGIT / "_" / "-" / ".")

The yang-identifier defined in draft-ietf-netmod-rfc6991-bis-09.txt
did not change and it still references RFC 6020. What exactly is your
concern or proposal? Do you propose to change the definition of
yang-identifier to reference RFC 7950 and to drop the second pattern
(which would be an allowed change according to YANG update rules)? Or
do you propose to add a new definition of a yang-identifier-1.1?
