Thanks Dave for these clarifications on the "holes issue". I think that newer
RFCs or drafts should contain a few more lines of explanations.

However, I would not agree that there is no requirement to check the index
values - in my opinion, a SNMP library that checks agent's responses should be
paranoic here - and gurantee that the response is really the one that a manager
expects and that it is completely correct. This approach allowed us to quickly
detect bugs in our agent implementation.
