Hi, Just a summary for those of you who are busy...
May YANG module documents include examples in XML. Sometimes there are line length problems caused by the 73 character limit. Different documents have adopted different ways around this as special cases. It would be useful to have a generic approach so that all documents have the same look and feel. It has also been suggested that this might ease auto-verification of examples, but that might be a challenge for other reasons. We have not included JSON in this document. JSON is somewhat more compact, but the same issue could arise, so we do plan to look at this in the future. Thoughts would be most welcome.
