Another question:
   In a couple of places in this draft (mteObjectEntryStatus,
mteEventEntryStatus, etc), the description refers to the term
"MAY not".  What does this actually mean?

RFC 2119 defines "MAY" as referring to optional features,
and makes no mention of "MAY not".  Is this intended to be
a prohibition on making any changes to an active row?

If so:
  a)  Shouldn't the text use  "MUST NOT" ?
  b)  What's the purpose of the mteEventEnabled column
        if the value can't be changed?
  c)  What is the reason for this prohibition?
