Subject: [netmod] Should the "with-origin" parameter be supported for <intended>?

Hi, all

In the "system-defined configuration(draft-ma-netmod-with-system)" work, an optional datastore named "system" is introduced to hold non-deletable system configurations.
We define that if a server implements <intended>, <system> MUST be merged into <intended>.  So there is the cases that the clients can fetch <intended> and <intended> contains merged <system>.
The question is should we extend the "with-origin" parameter to support <intended>? The possible considerations for following two choices:

     *   "with-origin" parameter should be supported for <intended>
        *   It may be helpful for a client to fetch <intended> to understand a certain data node is from <running> or from <intended>
     *   There is no need for <intended> to support "with-origin"
        *   We already have <operational> to provide the origin for a particular data node
Any thoughts on this?

Best Regards,
Qiufang Ma
