Netconf operation definitions

[Hector Trevino <htrevino@cisco.com>]

Hi, following up on the previous discussions and the suggestion to 
identify areas where there may be discrepancies between the text and the 
XSD.


1) The current get-config definition for source says:

"source:

        Name of the configuration datastore being queried, such as
        <running/>.  If this element is unspecified, the <running/>
        configuration is used."

The definition for get-config the XSD includes element source which is 
of type rpcOperationSourceType. One of the choices is "config" which is 
config-inlineType

    <xs:complexType name="rpcOperationSourceType">
      <xs:choice>
        <xs:element ref="config"/>
        <xs:element ref="config-name"/>
        <xs:element ref="url"/>
      </xs:choice>
    </xs:complexType>

My suggestion would be for the XSD definition to be modified to not 
allow this  since a definition change can be made to enforce what the 
text says.


2) rpc element description. I think this was already brought up but just 
to make sure it's captured

"If additional attributes are present in an <rpc> element, a NETCONF
  peer must return them unmodified in the <rpc-reply> element."

The XSD does not include definitions for additional attributes


Slightly out of subject but related to XSDs

3) Naming conventions
There seems to be two different naming conventions followed in the XSD 
(for first word first letter is lower case then use upper case for first 
letter of sub-sequent words - rpcOperationSourceType) and also dash "-" 
separated words (config-inlineType and get-config)

For consistency purposes it may be good if one of the naming conventions 
was followed instead of inter-mixing. The former?
