Skimming the draft, it was unclear to me how a few details would work
in this approach.  I think it would be helpful to explicitly talk about
  (1) how notifications are intended to work
  (2) key provisioning (indeed, provisioning in general)
  (3) what security model is in use

I *think* it might be helpful to treat this as a new transport
model, but you'll need to think through just how authentication
and privacy are to be handled (e.g., is it just USM atop RELOAD,
or does RELOAD provide the security services?).  This decision
may interract with how, for example, notification and Disman
targets are configured.  In particular, consider whether you need
to support the case where only *some* of the SNMP interractions
between two systems are carried via RELOAD.
