You're quite right.  Also, in the case of  pktcNcsEndPntConfigRxGain,
a DEFVAL needs to be added.  And there's the use of "recommended"
when I'd expect "RECOMMENDED", which is stronger than what DEFVAL
means per RFC 2578 section 7.9.

A handy tool for checking these things is [email protected]
Just send an email message (empty subject line) containing the
extracted MIB module, (after replacing "XXX" dummy values)
and it will send back a surprisingly useful analysis.  It doesn't
catch *everything*, but it certainly helps with all the easy stuff,
and can be a big time saver.
