Section 14 says:

path-arg            = absolute-path / relative-path

It should say:

path-arg            = deref-expr / path-str

deref-expr          = deref-function-invocation *WSP "/" *WSP 
                      relative-path

path-str            = absolute-path / relative-path

deref-function-invocation = deref-keyword *WSP
                            "(" *WSP path-str *WSP ")"

deref-keyword       = %s"deref"

Notes:

This is to allow path statement to contain also "deref" function invocation which is supported by pyang and Cisco compiler but for now is not supported by i.e. yanglint validator because of above statement which does not allow for it.
