Hello Reshad, hello YANG Doctors,

thank you for your review!  Please find my replies inline, <ALEX>.  We
have also just posted -05 (thanks, Yingzhen, for doublechecking my
updates).

<ALEX> Thanks.  Adding reference to 6991 (as 6021 is obsoleted). </ALEX>

<ALEX> Thanks.  Of course! </ALEX>

<ALEX> Yes, this is a leftover.  Updated the text accordingly.  </ALEX>
> 	4.	Example P12 and P13. The RPC operation has “operational” as source (enabled is true)  and “intended” as target (enabled is false). The differences shown (in RPC output) have “value true” and “source-value false”. But I thought value came from target datastore and source-value from source datastore, so the values are reversed, i.e.. it should be “value false” and “source-value true” instead? Looking at the origin in the output I am wondering if the intent is to have “intended” as source and ”operational” as target. Or am I misunderstanding this?
<ALEX> Yes, the example contains a few mistakes.  The values were
reversed, and in addition what you mentioned I noticed an issue with the
treatment of origin metadata (only part of <operational>.  It is fixed
now.  </ALEX>

<ALEX> Here we are simply referring to the basic YANG-patch edit
operations per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8072#page-11. ; Those are
in turn derived from <edit-config> operations per
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241#page-37. ; I am not sure we need add
to explain those, as we are directly referring to YANG-patch.

> 	2.	YANG model: prefix “cp” doesn’t seem to be a great choice since cp is associated with copying. I realize that there is some preference for 2-letter prefixes, but to me “cp” is not a great choice. What about “cmp”? WG/chairs should have a word to say about this.
<ALEX> Changing it to cmp, pending comments by WG chairs </ALEX>
> 	3.	YANG model P9, for the “uses path:yang-patch”, why not have a  reference to RFC8072 (is it because the description above mentions RFC8072)?
<ALEX> We are clearly referencing RFC 8072; are you suggesting to put a
reference substatement below the uses statement?   It looks a little
strange to me but sure, we will add it.   
> 	4.	Section 7 mentions rate limiting requests per client. Should there be a “global” rate-limiting too, i.e not client-specific?

<ALEX> I am not sure this is really needed as I think the number of
management clients will in general be fairly limited to begin with, but
we can certainly add it.  How about the following text:

OLD:

One possibility for an implementation to mitigate against such a
possibility is to limit the number of requests that is served to a
client in any one time interval, rejecting requests made at a higher
frequency than the implementation can reasonably sustain.

NEW:

One possibility for an implementation to mitigate against such a
possibility is to limit the number of requests that is served to a
client, or to any number of clients, in any one time interval, rejecting
requests made at a higher frequency than the implementation can
reasonably sustain.

</ALEX>

> 	5.	Wondering if section 8 should be in an Appendix (or even removed)? Also, the method suggested doesn’t seem to guarantee that the difference persisted for the “dampening” time.

<ALEX> Personally, I do think it makes sense to include a brief
discussion of possible further extensions.  I suggest to keep the
section if it's okay with you, or perhaps leave it to the chair whether
they have a preference to remove it.
