Wes or DBH, can you point to the exact place in the IDs where this is
described?

We need to move this discussion to the concrete text in the documents.
If we find text that handles this, we are done and can close this
technical issue. If not, we hopefully get closer to know what text
needs to be added where.

So far I understand:

- There should be a better motivation why user at host addresses are
  supported (to make NOs work better).

- We need to make sure that the EoP provide a consistent securityName
  for SNMP applications using this feature.

Can we please sort this out quickly?
