The problem with this is that the informative reference would wind up being to a -00 draft of the yang data model; unless that document makes rapid progress, it's unlikely that the reference will be to a version of the document that anybody would find useful. It might be worth asking the authors of that document where they think it will be in two or three months, since that's about the length of the RFC Editor queue at the moment, IIRC.
