Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the references issue could be the last major one to solve and announce the first stable official version of NML. Other issues could be discussed afterwards and belong to the next version (I remember that October has been a deadline).
Yes, isReference is the only major issue. Unnamed NML objects also needs text, but the issues are clear there. If there is no clear use case and proposal after this OGF, I will be forced to move this 'isReference' and 'idRef' to experimental status, where it will be published in a separate document. At a first read, I very much value Aaron's proposal, so I have good hopes this still can be part of the base document. Am I correct that there are now two proposals? Jeroen's proposal: "If there are 2 network elements with the same id attribute in a given document, the union of the two elements should be considered the canonical definition of the element" Aaron's Rule 1: If there are 2 network elements with the same id attribute in a given document, the behavior is undefined.
