 Hi Lada, 
 We believe that https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-yang/ satisfies your comments. Please take a look ASAP as we intend to WG last called the ietf-ospf YANG model imminently. 
    
    Thanks,
    Co-Authors

        The data model defined in this document is a massive piece of work: it
        consists of 11 YANG modules and defines around 1200 schema nodes. The
        "ietf-ospf@2017-10-30" module is compatible with the NMDA architecture.
        
        **** Comments
        
        1. Unless there is a really compelling reason not to do so, the
           "ietf-ospf" should declare YANG version 1.1. For one,
           "ietf-routing" that is being augmented by "ietf-ospf" already
           declares this version. Some of my suggestions below also assume
           version 1.1.
        
        2. The "ietf-ospf" can work only with the new NMDA-compatible
           revisions of some modules, such as "ietf-interfaces" and
           "ietf-routing". I understand it is not desirable to import such
           modules by revision, but at least it should be mentioned in a
           description attached to every such import.
        
        3. Maybe the draft could mention that implementations should supply a
           default routing domain as a system-controlled resource.
        
        4. In "when" expressions, the module uses literal strings for
           identities. This is known to be problematic, the XPath functions
           derived-from() or derived-from-or-self() should be used instead.
        
        5. Some enumerations, such as "packet-type" and "if-state-type"
           define enum identifiers with uppercase letters and/or underscores,
           for example "Database-Description" or "LONG_WAIT". RFC6087bis
           recommends that only lowercase letters, numbers and dashes. I think
           this convention should be observed despite the fact that the
           current names are traditionally used in OSPF specs. The
           "ietf-routing" module also defines "router-id" even though the
           documents use "Router ID".
        
        6. The types of LSA headers are modelled as integers. While OSPF gurus
           probably know these numbers by heart, it is not very
           reader-frienly. So at least some references to documents defining
           these numbers should be provided, but my suggestion is to consider
           implementing them with identities. It seems it might also be useful
           to define some "abstract" identities for these types. For example,
           if "opaque-lsa" is defined, then the definition of container
           "opaque" could simply use
        
             when "derived-from(../../header/type, 'ospf:opaque-lsa')";
        
           instead of
        
              when "../../header/type = 9 or "
                      + "../../header/type = 10 or "
                      + "../../header/type = 11";
        
        7. The title of sec. 2.9 should be "OSPF Notifications" rather than
           "OSPF notification".
