The set of operation attribute values for edit-config should be improved to allow for explicit create and modify operations
Proposed consensus:
operation: (create | modify | merge | replace | delete) [default: merge]
Create will fail if the indicated config data already exists
Modify will fail if the indicated config data does not exist
Merge and replace will cause an implicit create if the indicated config data does not exist
Merge X with nothing or replace nothing with X works out the same
Delete will fail if the indicated config data does not exist
Text regarding mixing different operation values is too restrictive
Change MUST to MAY or remove text altogether
