not that the vendor is always right or anything, but at least one
implementation (juniper) behaves this way:

 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.9 = fxp1.0
 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.9 = ethernetCsmacd(6)
 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.9 = Gauge: 100000000

 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.36 = ge-2/0/0.401
 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.36 = ethernetCsmacd(6)
 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.36 = Gauge: 1000000000

crisco only creates entries in the ifTable for physical interfaces in
their routers (or at least for the ones that I have access to that use
.1q or isl). cisco msfc2 reports gigabit for vlans, but that doesn't count.

just a reference point. I would argue that vlans are definitely "a
sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth" too.
