Section 7.2 says:
If the "operation" attribute is not specified, the configuration is merged into the configuration datastore.
It should say:
If the "operation" attribute is not specified, then the operation applied to the parent data node of the configuration is used. If no parent data node is available, then the value of the <default-operation> parameter is used. If the <default-operation> parameter is not given, the configuration is merged into the configuration datastore.
Notes:
sentence in para 6 is not correct.
The default-operation value is used, not the value "merge".
