Nits/editorial comments: one noted (as follows)

2.2. Connection Closure

   A TLS client (NETCONF manager) MUST close the associated TLS
   connection if the connection is not expected to issues any NETCONF

   RPC commands later.  It MUST send a TLS close_notify alert before
   closing the connection.  The TLS client MAY choose to not wait for
   the TLS server (NETCONF agent) close_notify alert and simply close
   the connection, thus generating an incomplete close on the TLS server
   side.  Once the TLS server gets a close_notify from the TLS client,
   it MUST reply with a close_notify unless it becomes aware that the
   connection has already been closed by the TLS client (e.g., the
   closure was indicated by TCP).
