A partition has full and limited members where all 16-bits define the 
partition.  In fact, text says "A collection of endnodes with the same 
P_Key in their P_Key Tables are referred to as being members of a 
partition, or in a partition. A P_Key Table can specify one of two types 
of partition membership: Limited or Full."  So, I think that you should 
choose a different name, if this is needed.  Also, how do you propose to 
use this new definition?

By the way, a nit: the MIB also defines the "IbSmPortList".  Can it be 
called "IbSmaPortList" or "IbPortList"?  It's used in the SMA MIB.
