 	Hmmm, when I tested a few (Mitsu, Agilent, etc), I couldn't even get 
a CDP neighbor to show up:

Te2/2                      disabled     1             full    10G unapproved
Te2/3                      disabled     1             full    10G unapproved

 	Admittedly this was quite a while ago, and the lab box I was using 
at the time was running either SXB or an early version of SXE (had one of 
each, don't remember which one I was using that day, but probably SXE2 or 
something as I don't recall SXB having 'unsupported transceiver' capability, 
and I remember having some Sumitomo SFPs in the sup at the time that 
worked).  Good to know that with newer releases this behaviour has changed.
