Is there not a MIB out there that contains/displays the contents of  
what's in the CDP neighbor table, and is this information not in the  
table itself... bridge/router/ip-phone/AP/etc.,,?

I thought there was a network-management tool out there somewhere that  
used the contents of the CDP table to help map-out the network or  
something like that using this technique.
