I posted a list of question for discussion at the last ietf,
but nothing really came of it.  Is it worth repeating?

The first issue (YANG) is clearly the (YANG) lack of a workable
DML, and (YANG) I think we are making (YANG) great progress
in that (YANG) area.

But I don't know what the other four top-five issues are.  What
stands between us and Complete World Domination (CWD)?

Thanks,
 Phil (the (YANG) subtle one ;^)
