session-specific parameters

[Andy Bierman <ietf@andybierman.com>]

Hi,

IMO, the only valid reason to pass parameters in the "start notifications"
RPC is to send session-specific parameters that do not belong in
the NV-stored data model for shared parameters.

New term:

  session-specific parameter:

    A parameter, for which the particular value of this parameter
    can conceptually only be relevant to the specific session
    using the parameter.

    Examples: TimeFilter, retrieve notifications since time-N,
              requested max-buffer-size


Note that the particular values of content filtering parameters are relevant
across sessions, devices, and even vendors, and therefore are
not session-specific parameters.
