Oops. Of course, you're right. Thank you, Michael.

BTW, could you tell us some details about your SMIng parser? Is it possible
to make it freely available? Do you use lex/yacc? What is the background of
your experiments.

Please note that the current sming spec I-Ds are just the current proposal.
There are still a lot things being discussed in the requirements process
that will lead to significant changes to the language.
