ietf-if-extensions is part of the draft-ietf-netmod-inft-ext-yang draft, which 
is still a draft. It should ideally be in the {draftlib} path variable. I would 
suggest a open an issue with the tools team to have them track it.

I am assuming of course that you are able to validate the model locally on your 
machine.

Looking at how the draft describes it, how about something like this?

“A routing policy defines whether a routing protocol imports a route into the 
routing table, modifies it, or exports a route from the routing table."

The general rule is that if the grouping is used only once in the model, and 
not meant for use outside the module, that it should not be a grouping.

For example, ‘grouping neighbor-set’ is used only once in the model, and I 
doubt it is meant for use outside of this module. That grouping should be 
collapsed into the model where it gets used. Same for ‘grouping tag-set’. These 
are just two examples. There are many more.

A nit. if-l3-vlan is still missing the cross-reference (and the hyperlink) to 
the draft. Also why idnits is giving you an error at the bottom.

I meant to say you should drop the word “mailto:"; from the list of e-mail 
addresses of the editors. That tag works inside a HTML document, not inside a 
YANG model.

Hmm. That leaves the model without any examples, and examples are important.

I was able to find the example in an earlier version of your own draft (01). I 
would suggest that you take that example and modify it to make it compatible 
with the latest version of the model. If you need help, let me know.

The reason you are getting this error is because you are lacking a normative 
reference to I-D.ietf-netmod-sub-intf-vlan-model in the document. Goes back to 
the nit I point up earlier.

I would suggest that once you have fixed all the issues in the draft, that you 
re-run idnits locally on the machine.
