I had a quick look and observed that this document refers in several
places to [RFC1493] while in reality it refers to [RFC1493bis]. The
little interesting detail here is that the BRIDGE-MIB revision aka
RFC1493bis adds a new object dot1dStpPortPathCost32 (without saying 
so clearly - this is almost hidden, only the compliance statements 
give some clue).

So what I think needs to be done is to spell out clearly in the
RSTP-MIB document that this in fact depends on the BRIDGE-MIB 
revision. Furthermore, in the BRIDGE-MIB revision aka RFC1493bis, 
the section titled "Changes from RFC 1493" should be rewritten to 
list the semantic changes relative to RFC 1493, removing the 
list of changes between the various IDs (there are things listed 
that were introduced and later removed, which is not important 
to keep around in the final version).

Despite this, my quick read of the RSTP-MIB ID under last call did 
not find anything I worry about.
