I read the (d)tls transport model document and here is the full summary
of my comments:
(The first 3 items were posted to the list previously) 

1.  tlstmServerAuthFailure notification.
Will it be helpful for network administrators to know the current count
of how many times the presented server certificate is invalid in each
tlstmServerAuthFailure notification?  If so, it may be useful to have
tlstmSessionInvalidServerCertificates as an additional binding,
especially if this object is the trigger.

2.  Standard authentication failure notification.
There may have been some previous discussions about possibly using the
standard authenticationFailure trap for tlstm (client) authentication
failures.  Will this be used or mentioned in the document?

3. tlstmServerCertNotFound
Will it be feasible to have a scalar object that serves as a counter for
this event? 
If implemented, it can be added to this notification.

4.  Section 6.4 Configuration Tables
There is double verb, (is are), in the 2nd sentence.

5. Section 6.4.1 Notifications
This section mentions a notification (tlstmServerAuthFailure) that
alerts management stations when the server's presented certificate does
not meet the expected value but does not appear to have a statement that
directly refers to the tlstmServerCertNotFound notification.
