Hi. Eduardo,

Thanks for efforts to make this MIB better.

Does "may not" here mean "MUST NOT" or "MAY"?
<edo>
A bit clear saying :
"A CMTS MAY allow...."
</edo>
...
I think it is 'A CMTS MAY NOT allow ...."  In the ECN OSSIv2.0-N-04.0121,
The CMTS MAY have pre-defined modulation profiles (entries in the DOCS-IF-MIB
docsIfCmtsModulationTable) with the purpose of being used by
operators as is or as templates to define other modulation profiles. CMTS
pre-defined modulation profiles entries MAY be read-only to prevent users 
from accidental modifications. Adding or creating entries with new 
docsIfCmtsModIntervalUsageCode values and the same docsIfCmtsModIndex 
values as the pre-defined modulation profiles MAY result in error.

Thanks a lot !
Minnie
