Acee,

(Thanks for the plain ascii...)

I'm happy to contribute on this, just put me in the loop. 

A generic Yang model for describing a location would be very
useful. Just remember it's not as simple as it first looks. 

I ended up digging into this when we needed to describe the network
as a graph, and you need to describe anything down to the location of
a connector on a panel/device in a building and then what
content/chanel is actually in that fiber/wire .

Please keep me in the loop.

(ps: we can use a yang model to tell time anywhere in universe to...)
