- * The "typedef" statement's argument is an identifier that is the name

- * sub-statements that holds detailed typedef information.
- *
- * The name of the type MUST NOT be one of the YANG built-in types.  If

+     * where they are used, rather than placing them at the top level of the

+     * specified without adding leading strings designed to prevent name
+     * collisions within large modules.
+     *
+     * Finally, scoping allows the module author to keep types and groupings
+     * private to their module or submodule, preventing their reuse.  Since
+     * only top-level types and groupings (i.e., those appearing as
+     * sub-statements to a module or submodule statement) can be used outside

+     * Scoped definitions MUST NOT shadow definitions at a higher scope.  A
