Did you consider writing a YAML spec instead?

It's unlikely to be usable today with YNL due to all the classic
netlink vs genetlink differences, but Breno is working on rendering 
the specs in documentation:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231113202936.242308-1-leitao@debian.org/

so in terms of just documenting attributes it may be good enough.
It may possibly be nice to have that documentation folder as "one 
stop shop" for all of netlink?

Absolutely no strong preference on my side, just wanted to make
sure you're aware of that work.
