If the WG does not want to work on a subagent protocol, that's fine.

I just want to say that I do think the subagent idea (in general) is
appealing, and I know for a fact that subagents will be used in some
netconf deployments.

I don't think it is.  XPath filtering across subagents is more
tricky...

This might be another reason for using a standard <exec> method (where
the operation itself is defined in the data model) as been discussed
earlier.
