Actually, for fault management management and alarms some consider SNMP
a dead horse.  Most enterprises in particular prefer SYSLOG and ASCII. 
SPs say they like SNMP but then they use tools like Netcool/CIC, and so
SYSLOG does very well for them as well.  In the end I think we'd find
agreement between the two groups that standardized events should tail
differentiation.

I also think one of the reasons they considered SNMP a dead horse was
lousy integration with their existing AAA.  ISMS may help this.
