TBH, RFC 6021:
typedef mac-address {
     type string {
       pattern '[0-9a-fA-F]{2}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}){5}';
     }
     description
      "The mac-address type represents an IEEE 802 MAC address.
       The canonical representation uses lowercase characters.

       In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent
       to the MacAddress textual convention of the SMIv2.";
     reference
      "IEEE 802: IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area
                 Networks: Overview and Architecture
       RFC 2579: Textual Conventions for SMIv2";
   }

So, the fix is to use a cli one step closer to yang. :-)
