Hi

The document used to have a table like this but it was decided that this
made the MIB more difficult to understand and would cause it to be out of
date each time a new class of entity was added. Plus, you can't really make
sweeping statements that 'fans ever do this' or 'power supplies never do
that'. It was decided that instead, we would ensure that the objects and
textual conventions were well enough defined so that this could easily be
determined by the implementer.

HI,

The document seems to be missing a table that says how the values are
applied to each class of entity.
