I think this is a good idea, as long as it is clearly understood
that the registration OIDs will be moved under mib-2 once the
documents are published as RFCs.  In particular, people need to be
made aware that the experimental versions of the MIB modules that
appear in the Internet-Drafts _will_ be changed and thus are
unsuitable for wide-scale deployment in production environments.
