RE: netconf WG charter proposal

Juergen,

True but people on this list have consistently assuming XML will replace
SNMP solving the problem SNMP has.  It is simply not true.  

Without the mapping mechanism specified, this is a head-ache for NMS to
do the correlation all over again.  Note that existing MIB mapping at
least has some common practice that is used by a lot of vendors.  It is
very uncertain if XML conf will follow the same path.

How is that different from today's reality?
