If so, I think this should be > mentioned in 1.2 (and the term "client" imported from RFC 8342). The subscriber need not always the transport client. This is dependent on the transport selected. For example in the RESTCONF draft for configured subscriptions, the HTTP client is the Publisher, and the HTTP server is the receiver. See section 4.2 & Figure 3 of draft-ietf-netconf-restconf-notif. For draft-ietf-netconf-udp-pub-channel draft, I can see the possibility of transport client session being initiated from the line cards.
