    Ouch! disallow SETs?

    I agree (propose) with the concept of subsetting. I am thinking more along
    the lines of a "growth path"... where we start with Extranet as target and
    possibly limit our scope to devices, then move to include Intranet and
    also expand to services, then, finally include queues

    But I think SET capability is needed, even at the lowest compliance level.
    If not, how, for example, would a remote manager take a device off-line
    should this be necessary... or post a message to the opPanel?

    Harry had brought up the notion of different classes of compliance in his
    last minutes. I think this is as it must go. For WBMM monitoring
    applications, any set operation let alone queue management must be
    disallowed. But that does not mean that we ought not identify and format
    set operations.

    I do think doing some sub-setting makes sense - in the case of queues, not
    all devices/services managed by WBMM will have queues to manage.

    Once we understand the potential subsets, we can talk about which ones
    need
    to be in WBMM 1.0, and which can follow (or potentially be done in
    parallel.
