Hi,
>From RFC 6087 (YANG Usage Guidelines), section 5.6.2, the following is noted
>about the use of the XPATH local-name() function:
The 'local-name' function SHOULD NOT be used to reference local names
outside of the YANG module defining the must or when expression
containing the 'local-name' function. Example of a local-name
function that should not be used:
/*[local-name()='foo']
However, no explanation is given as to why this is a bad idea. We have a
specific use case where local-name() would appear to allow us to massively
simplify some rather cumbersome must expressions, but I wanted to check I'm not
missing some 'gotcha' here. Is it simply that relying on a common node name
across multiple modules is generally a bad design as it ties the modules
together, or is there more to it? If so, then in our case this is a reasonable
restriction.
Thanks,
William
