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.
