Looks like I spoke too soon - the NETCONF equivalent of
<get-configuration> doesn't provide format control - it always returns
the full XML tree.  I can use NETCONF to call the op script, but at
that point, ssh does basically the same thing without needing to
distribute a script to all of my boxes.
