Comment (2019-04-11 for -07)
(1) Along the same lines of Alissa's DISCUSS, which I support.  

§6.1: "For standardized modules new tags MUST be assigned in the IANA registry defined below, see Section 7.2."  What is a "standardized module"?  It sounds like a Standards Track document, but (as Alissa pointed out) the registration policy is only IETF Review.  

(2) §7.1: "All YANG module tags SHOULD begin with one of the prefixes in this registry."  That statement along with the text in §2.4:

   Any tag not starting with the prefix "ietf:", "vendor:" or "user:" is
   reserved for future standardization.  These tag values are not
   invalid, but simply reserved in the context of standardization.

...seem to indicate that a tag with any format can be used.  Is that true?  Is that the intent?  If so, then it seems to me that vendor/user tags could simply forgo the standardized prefix.  I guess this is ok...it just makes me wonder about the need to even define those prefixes.

(3) I'm not sure what, but I think it may be wise to give the would-be DEs for the new registry in §7.1 some more guidance on the allocation of new prefixes.  The only current guidance is this: "Prefix entries in this registry should be short strings consisting of lowercase ASCII alpha-numeric characters and a final ":" character."

Minor comment: Maybe name the new registry "IETF YANG Module Tags" instead of "YANG Module Tags"...?
