A few comments on the Midcom MIB-00

hi

I started to review the Midcom MIB, but it was suggested that I wait until
the next version. I figured I might as well send in the comments I generated
from the first few pages of the ID:

1. In the Overview section, how do the managed objects described in the
third paragraph relate to the solution described in the second paragraph?
This connection has not been made.

2. In section 3.1, on Terminology, it would be good to tell us what RFCXXXX
is. Right now I have no idea what document you are referring to, but even
after it is published, I think including the title of the RFC would greatly
increase readability.

3. In section 3.1 in Terminology, it might be worth noting that the latest
terminology in SNMP is 'SNMP entity' and using this should clarify things
for you. See section 2.1 in RFC3410. You could then indicate that the Midcom
SNMP Entity acts in both the manager and agent roles, or something along
those lines.

4. In section 4, the first paragraph, I might suggest something more along
the lines of "This memo describes a method of using managing Midcom in SNMP
and also provides the necessary MIB objects to support this method."
