Section 3 says:
A schema node of this type will be set to zero (0) on creation and will thereafter increase monotonically until it reaches a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal), when it wraps around and starts increasing again from zero.
It should say:
A leaf instance of this type will be set to zero (0) on creation and will thereafter increase monotonically until it reaches a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal), when it wraps around and starts increasing again from zero.
Notes:
In a number of descriptions in both ietf-yang-types and ietf-inet-types, the term "schema node" is used incorrectly in places where "leaf instance" or "instance of a leaf" should be used instead. However, not all occurences of "schema node" are wrong: schema nodes just have to be distinguished from nodes in an instance data tree.
