Re: [art] [Uri-review] Re: Alternative representation of URIs in YANG

Hi Kent/Martin,

How about we go with option 2 that limits the applicability of the definition to the following:

The 'ietf-url' module defines a YANG 'grouping' for a URL described as a
constrained subset of the URI defined in <relref section="3" target="RFC3986"/>.
The contraint is that the grouping is defined only to support connection
parameters for an HTTP client.
