The counter to that is the text for mteTriggerFalling that says:

  Notification that the falling threshold was met for triggers with
  mteTriggerType 'threshold'.

It doesn't say "but only if they configured it to be sent".

I don't think that arguing about this is worthwhile, as it's somewhat
a stalemate.  You're the developer of the recent code, so until I
rewrite yours you win ;-)

One not-a-real-word:  snmpNotifyFilterTable.  It even allows one
receiver who does care to receive it and another not.
