Yes and HP has special OIDs for VLANs. If I remember correct VLANs are not 
even in ifTable, since they are not interfaces, I am not 100% sure about 
this, but if they are in ifTable they have special type defined... It seems 
that every company has it's own way of dealing with VLANs...

As for sub-layer thing, I wouldn't argue with you that VLAN is sub-layer, 
but I think it has a little concet of bandwidth...
