Editorial Typos: There are a few minor errors. For example, Section 4 spells
“IANA regsitry” instead of “registry”. The Abstract has “Such a design enable”
(should be enables). These should be corrected.

Placeholder References: The YANG module import statements use placeholder
“RFC YYYY” and “RFC ZZZZ” for upcoming documents. These must be updated once
the referenced drafts become RFCs. In particular, the
ietf-subscribed-notif-receivers module import (to configure on publisher) cites
an “HTTPS-based Transport” draft that should be finalized or dropped if
obsolete.

Segmentation Flag Semantics: The enable-segmentation leaf defaults to true
(good), but its description warns that disabling it causes IP fragmentation.
Given fragmentation is strongly discouraged (RFC 8085/8900), the text should
more emphatically recommend not disabling segmentation. The current wording
(“large messages may be fragmented”) could be interpreted loosely; it might
help to note this is generally unsafe.
