FW: Pre-last-call review

Hi Dan,

I asked the question deliberately because I thought they might be out of
sync already. 

I tend to favor the idea of putting out an Informational RFC with a
pointer to the IEEE 802.1X mib, or an Informational RFC with a pointer
to the website for IEEE 802.1 mibs. I think we will never keep them in
sync, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to publish an IETF version of
the mib.
