YANG Data Structure Extension

[vvilimek]

Is there a reason for using the rc:yang-data of RESTCONF [RFC 8040] YANG ietf-restconf module? I think usage of sx:structure statement of YANG Data Structure Extension [RFC 8791] (from YANG ietf-yang-structure-ext module) would be beneficial for future extensibility of the draft.

On the other hand the legacy rc:yang-data is the same construct used by RESTCONF.

The CoMI draft was first published in 2017, 3 years before RFC 8791.
Usage of rc:yang-data is now considered deprecated, and sx:structure is used instead.
No objections to this change since YANG doctors will flag this issue anyway.

Thank you.
Of course, by now we also have RFC 9290, so it is not quite clear to me which of these we should actually use.
I merged this base on Andy's comment on YANG doctors, but I'm not sure what the level of disturbance is that this creates.
