You can do that with the experimental tree for years now but people
usually don't care about doing it. Even if you automate the IANA
allocation with WG approval, I am sure that only half of the WGs that
do MIBs will use it. Something really simple like { mib-2 xxx } or {
mib-2 0 } is IMHO sufficient. Lets not over-engineer a solution for
this problem.
