I'm not in the TBD crowd, I just don't think this is a simple
problem.  You can't just define a simple schema and force all
the world onto it.  If this worked, folks would have rewritten
their implementations to follow MIBs.

What we need is an understanding that it's not a simple problem and
a plan to simplify it, to allow for incompatibilities, conversions,
etc without losing the ability to cover the 50-80% of use cases
that are the most beneficial.

Thanks,
