For reference, was scanning through the NETCONF RFC and found the
following statements:

  In 7.3, in regards to the source parameter to copy-config;

     Name of the configuration datastore to use as the source
     of the copy operation or the <config> element containing
     the configuration subtree to copy.

  My interpretation is that subtree means a single XML node.

  In 7.2, in regards to the config parameters to edit-config;

     A hierarchy of configuration data as defined by one of the
     device's data models. [...]

  My interpretation is that hierarchy mandates a single XML node.

In the netconf-model I-D [2], section 5.7 there is an example of a
<get/> that returns both configuration and non-configuration data.
In the example, the configuration data is contained in a <xc:config>
node.  My feeling is that is probably an error in the I-D.
