OK, I just looked.  Doesn't C14-70 say that SubnGet(SMInfo) _shall_ be
discarded if IsSMDisabled is asserted (in addition to not sending any
such queries)?

I think I'm missing the point of IsSMDisabled.  What I was looking for
was the motivation behind the spec.  So can you give a quick example
of some simple situation where setting IsSMDisabled helps me make my
network work better?
