Hi Sandy,

My sense from the discussion on this thread is that there is no appetite for 
making any more changes to the draft. I am sorry. 

Your examples would still be helpful, and we can discuss other ways to educate 
YANG developers on the right way to add a reference statement, including 
putting some of those examples on a wiki.

Is the draft otherwise ready tor publication?

Cheers.
