The combination of 

  syslogEntityControlBindAddrType	InetAddressType
  syslogEntityControlBindAddr		InetAddress
  syslogEntityControlTransportDomain	TransportDomain
  syslogEntityControlService		SyslogService

looks a bit crazy to me. 

- Why have both InetAddressType and TransportDomain?

- Why not simply use (InetAddressType,InetAddress,InetPortNumber) or
  (TansportAddressType,TransportAddress)?

- What is the value of saying the service name is "xyz", which has
  only local significance?

- How do I find out which encapsulations are supported (plain, beep,
  tls, ...)?
