I see, belatedly, that secsh-arch still has a reference to SNMP and proxy
forwarding in it.

Since isms has now chosen to pursue SNMP over SSH and since proxy
forwarding is a significant feature of SNMP and since, as far as I can
establish, the reference in secsh-arch has no relationship to any of this
whatsoever, I think that 'SNMP' should be elided from the document before
it spreads havoc and confusion (already widespread in and around isms:-(

Given that the SNMP-over-SSH work being done in ISMS currently takes the form of a subsystem rather than a connection-forwarding channel, I'm inclined to agree. Removing the mention of SNMP as an example does not meaningfully change the document, but will likely avoid considerable confusion in the future.
