  * - parser silently ignores data without matching schema node definition,

  * and performs data validation according to all YANG rules, specifics follow,
  * - list instances are expected to have all the keys (it is not checked),
  * - instantiated (status) obsolete data print a warning,
  * - all types are fully resolved (leafref/instance-identifier targets, unions) and must be valid (lists have
  * all the keys, leaf(-lists) correct values),
  * - when statements on existing nodes are evaluated, if not satisfied, a validation error is raised,
  * - if-feature statements are evaluated,
  * - invalid multiple data instances/data from several cases cause a validation error,
