Consequently, a request to add, for example, an MD5 key to what
you intend to be an existing interface instance within an OSPF area

end up causing the creation of an OSPF instance, the creation of
an OSPF area, and the creation of an OSPF interface instance, and
the creation of the desired MD5 key. There is no way to express that
you only wish to create an MD5 key and you will not know
from the response that instead of a simple operation you have executed
a complex one. I believe that characteristics like these are
undesireable.
In your example above, I don't understand how it could
be valid to add an MD5 key to an OSPF instance that doesn't
exist...
To my mind, you should be able to express the desire to add an MD5 key
