Summary: The document is well written, and easy to read. However, I do have a
question regarding the normative terminology that I would like the authors to
address.

Major issues: N/A

Minor issues: N/A

Nits/editorial comments:

The document contains lots (especially for a BCP) of MUST/SHOULD/MAY/MOST NOT
etc.

First, it is unclear whether the MUST/SHOULD/... is defined by this document,
or whether it comes from the YANG specification.

Second, it is unclear what the criteria for MUST vs SHOULD is. Does it e.g.,
mean that a YANG validator will return an error is a MUST is not followed?
