Section 7 says:

The RPC "active-route" is used to retrieve the active route in a RIB.
RFC8349 defined two AFIs (v4/v6).

draft-ietf-mpls-base-yang is defining a new RIB AFI for MPLS as per section 3 in RFC8349.

The RPC has a "MUST" statement that all RIBs must augment input
parameters with a leaf named 'destination-address'.

For MPLS RIB, it makes sense to augment with leaf named 'local-label' since MPLS routes are identified by MPLS label.

We ask to make the following change:

OLD:
           action active-route {
             description
               "Return the active RIB route that is used for the
                destination address.

                Address-family-specific modules MUST augment input
                parameters with a leaf named 'destination-address'.";

It should say:

NEW:
           action active-route {
             description
               "Return the active RIB route that is used for the
                destination address.

                Address-family-specific modules MUST augment input
                parameters with a suitable leaf that identifies the route.";
