It is more than odd - it is broken.
The WG already decided (2 IETFs ago) that the named profile
must not be a pointer to unspecified contents.  The protocol
already has mechanisms for extending the standard
definitions with proprietary constructs.


There are essentially 2 solution paths here:

  1) remove named profiles completely.  The RPC method parameters
     are always passed at invocation time, without storing some
     of them 'offline' in a named-profile.

  2) define a proper standard data-model for the named profile contents,
     which is accessible to the standard operations (e.g., edit-config,
     get-config), and rooted at a specific point in the
     Netconf Standard Data Tree (that doesn't exist yet).

I thought we agreed on (2) awhile ago.
Perhaps this was just over-active cut-and-paste editing.
