1.  Introduction

   Mechanisms to support event subscription and YANG-Push are defined in
   [RFC8639].  Enhancements to [RFC8639] that enable YANG datastore
   subscription and YANG-Push are defined in [RFC8641].  This document
   provides a transport specification for dynamic subscriptions over
   RESTCONF [RFC8040].  Requirements for these mechanisms are captured
   in [RFC7923].

   The streaming of notifications that encapsulate the resulting
   information push is done via the mechanism described in Section 6.3
   of [RFC8040].

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   The following terms use the definitions from [RFC8639]: dynamic
   subscription, event stream, notification message, publisher,
   receiver, subscriber, and subscription.

   Other terms reused include datastore, which is defined in [RFC8342],
   and HTTP/2 stream, which maps to the definition of "stream" within
   [RFC7540], Section 2.

3.  Dynamic Subscriptions

   This section provides specifics on how to establish and maintain
   dynamic subscriptions over RESTCONF [RFC8040].  Subscribing to event
   streams is accomplished in this way via RPCs defined within
   [RFC8639], Section 2.4.  The RPCs are done via RESTCONF POSTs.  YANG
   datastore subscription is accomplished via augmentations to [RFC8639]
   as described within [RFC8641], Section 4.4.

   As described in Section 6.3 of [RFC8040], a GET needs to be performed
   on a specific URI on the publisher.  Subscribers cannot predetermine
   the URI against which a subscription might exist on a publisher, as
   the URI will only exist after the "establish-subscription" RPC has
