The NETCONF protocol defines ways to read configuration data from a
NETCONF server.  Part of this data is not set by the NETCONF client,
but rather a default value is used.  In many situations the NETCONF
client has a priori knowledge about default data, so the NETCONF
server does not need to send it to the client.  In other situations
the NETCONF client 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 client to control
whether default values are part of NETCONF <rpc-reply> messages or
<copy-config> output to the target URL.
