Document: draft-ietf-netconf-nmda-restconf-04 Reviewer: Russ Housley Review Date: 2018-06-28 IETF LC End Date: 2018-07-09 IESG Telechat date: unknown Summary: Ready Major Concerns: None. Minor Concerns: The last paragraph of Section 3.1 says: If a server implements the example datastore "ds-ephemeral" in the module "example-ds-ephemeral", it would implement the resource {+restconf}/ds/example-ds-ephemeral:ds-ephemeral. It is unclear to me why this datastore is not included in the bullets at the beginning of the section. Obviously, it is optional to implement, but so are two of the datastores that are included in the list. The last bullet of Section 3.2 says that [RFC8040], Section 3.5.4, paragraph 3 does not apply when interacting with any resource under {+restconf}/ds. The referenced paragraph says: If the target of a GET method is a data node that represents a leaf or leaf-list that has a default value and the leaf or leaf-list has not been instantiated yet, the server MUST return the default value or values that are in use by the server. In this case, the server MUST ignore its "basic-mode", described in Section 4.8.9, and return the default value. I suspect that this paragraph does not apply because the leaf and leaf-list will always be instantiated. A sentence to say one way or the other would be useful to the implementer. Nits: There is a missing ')' in the last paragraph of Section 5.
