that the I2RS agent loses its records of clients. A more reasonable way is
for I2RS agent to broadcast its status (e.g. restart), to let the Clients
to re-subscribe if they need to.

The problem is: who should an agent broadcast its failure to? How does it
know where the active clients are for particular services? There are some
security concerns here.  If non-volatile memory is not good enough, then a
policy server could be used as a knowledgeable intermediary (many of your
comments imply capabilities in policy servers), but that just pushes the
problem around, it doesn't make it go away.
