The current draft should be crisp about what each of the fields mean and not 
spend energy on documenting the vast number of things it doesn't do. :-)

In circumstances where the statistics vary differently by address family, 
separate drafts may make sense.  As an example, evpn specific statistics might 
be better served in an evpn specific draft.

However, where there's commonality of function, there's two easy ways to go 
about such things:
1. The common things are kept in their own draft.
2. The common things get replicated across drafts, and it's a matter of audit 
work for the WG to ensure that they're dealt with consistently.

2 happens because sometimes it's better to have a document cover the full set 
of things it is describing, especially when discussing how statistics may 
cross-correlate with each other.  Enforcing consistency in naming and 
statistics gathering behavior is trickier when something similar is spread 
across documents.

And that said, nothing stops an effort from beginning one way and eventually 
heading to RFC the other.  We have to start discussion somewhere.
