Without specifying how you measure simplicity, your statement is

A framework which allows to identify instances in some language X (and
uses this language for say error reporting and access control) and has
a required to implement a filter language which supports a filtering
language Y where the expressive power of Y is a true subset of X seems
a bit, lets say, surprising. Once again, I like X and I do believe Y
will be overcome anyway if netconf is going to be successful. (So I
better stop here since I believe the issue is pretty clear.)
