Good start, but I'm going to take issues with only using a date.  And
YANG doesn't do what I said.  It specifies the revision number format as
a date.

PS> The revision statement looks like:

PS> revision 2007-06-09 {
PS>    description "Initial revision.";
PS> }

I wanted to be able to pick what was right for me, as an author, from
any of these (for only I know what is good from my authoring
perspective):

  revision 20070609 {
  
  revision 200706090001 {

  revision 42 {

As long as future > past, the tools should be happy.
