[AB] The initial example was that ‘3des-cbc’ should be written as ‘tripleDes’, and not knowing how to pronounce ‘3des-cbc’, we wondered if we were being given general guidance as to how to write out numbers that appear at the beginning of a name (e.g., a name beginning with ‘2’ would be presented as ‘double’). ‘6to4’ seemed to be the only readily available counterexample. (And it’s not uncommon for a newly-created IANA-maintained YANG module to include registrations that are 20+ years old.)
I would agree that the general guidance of spelling out numbers starts to fall apart with some of these examples. Maybe a statement that says that in cases where a translation is not apparent to IANA, it should consult with YANG doctors on how they would like to see the identity spelt out. Would that help? [AB2] Right now the document points us to the experts for the registry itself, if applicable, or the ADs, but doesn’t mention the YANG doctors. Should that be changed? Thanks, Amanda
