I like <subscribe> better, but neither name actually describes
what this particular verb does.

We have a "streams" model, not really a "subscribe" model.
(This is by WG choice.)  In Phil's draft the verb is called <get-syslog-events>.
IMO, the name <start-notifications> best describes this RPC method.
