My recollection (which may be faulty) was that this was deliberate, to
illustrate the concept of the pointer, rather than the detail.  While
"ituAlarmEventType.x.y" might be more correct, I'm not sure that
it's more enlightening.  But I'd love to hear from the authors and
folks who have (tried) to implement this spec.
