Re: [IPFIX] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ipfix-mib-variable-export-04.txt

Hi all:

Colin published this version back on 15 February; seems to me it
answers many of the issues raised by the MIB Variables draft back
at the Vancouver meeting.  However, Colin points out in its Introduction
(and below) that it still has many points that need discussion.

Please - especially if you're closely familiar with SNMP - take a
little time to read this version, and send your comments/suggestions
for improvements to the list.

Cheers, Nevil
