DOCSIS subscriber Management MIB: tie to diffpolicy?

I need some advice from the working group on tying the DOCSIS subscriber

management MIB to the Diffserv Configuration MIB:

Just briefly scanning the diffpolicy i-d, it looks kind of cool as a way
to
document the (DOCSIS) use of the diffserv MIB. It presents us with
some trade-offs though:

(1) including a reference to it would tie the publication schedule
    of this i-d to it. Harrie says that it's in IETF last call, so
    this might be acceptable.
(2) replicating the information into the submgt i-d unlinks the
    publication schedule, but has the usual drawbacks of duplicate
    MIBs.
(3) If omitted, it could still be referenced by the Docsis OSS
    spec (once published as an RFC with a real MIB root). This would
    lose the visibility from the submgt i-d document, though.

What is the sense of the working group?
