The NETCONF protocol defines ways to read configuration data from a
NETCONF agent.  Part of this data is not set by the NETCONF manager,
but rather a default value is used.  In many situations the NETCONF
manager has a priori knowledge about default data, so the NETCONF
agent does not need to send it to the manager.  In other situations
the NETCONF manger will need this data as part of the NETCONF <rpc-
reply> messages.  This document defines a capability-based extension
to the NETCONF protocol that allows the NETCONF manager to control
whether default values are part of NETCONF <rpc-reply> messages.
