This was enough of a problem with vendors' implementations of MIB
modules that I think Tom's concern is well-founded.  I like the
idea of pointing to the relevant specification in general, but in
the particular case of registries, experience seems to show that
pointing directly to the registry reduces the likelihood of
some types of implementation error.
