hi, I see there is a special process about 'config' property. the 'config' property is treated as always availble for it has default value and can be get value from it's parent node. So I have a question. How about 'mandatory','min-elements','max-elements'? They are also have default values, for example, if mandatory is not be specified, it is 'false' defaultly.

The problem is that this is not well-defined in RFC 7950. It uses the term "property" for deviations, but that term is not used consistently in the document. Specifically, it doesn't clearly define the relationship between statements and the "properties" they affect.

Should this question be reposted to NETMOD WG?
