I have updated the report with the behavior of OpenDaylight

answers in the Management Information are either Yes, or N/A (in case of
CLI), but I currently do not have the cycles to make a definitive
answer, sorry :(

As an implementer: we have implemented this extension many moons ago
based on a request from a real-life deployment. I believe the answer to
all three questions is yes.
