Well the YANG modules are the “registry”, the important thing here is that 
identities are hierarchical, this will avoid the pollution problem. In some
previous alarm standards we have certainly had a registration/pollution problem
when alarm types where defined as flat enums (probable cause in X733 and derivatives).

See 3.2.  Alarm Type
