Hi,

thinking more about this, I wonder who is interested (in the sense I
am implementing this) in configured subscriptions over NETCONF and
RESTCONF (SSE - not some new HTTP/2 transport, which is not RESTCONF).

It could be that NC and RC clients are just fine with doing dynamic
subscriptions (since they can) and configured subscriptions
essentially exist to use notification streaming protocols that
themself have no way to dynamically subscribe. If this would be true,
then defining a transport for configured subscriptions over plain NC
and RC seems like a waste of effort. Then I would rather be specific
that configured subscriptions are for non NC/RC transports and remove
the text how to make configured subscriptions work with NC/RC.
