Why not an XML schema language?
Schema languages describe syntax of a document
YANG models the semantics of a database
Constraints on the finished product
Commit time
Operations guided by the model
Semantics drive the syntax
Simple XML validation is not sufficient
Example: Mandatory fields must appear in all instances
But don't appear in every RPC (“delete”)
