[Nml-wg] Schema changes

[John Vollbrecht]

I am not sure about the order of things in the group.  It may be good  
to do a single layer schema first and standardize it so there is a  
stake in the ground.  However, NSI needs to have adaptations  in  
topology to support its architecture and eventually its protocol  
definitions.   NSI and NML need to be in sync on network model and  
terminology.  If the single layer schema is done first, then I think  
it is important to have a clear timeline for when the multi-layer will  
be available.
