Re: Reverse lookup tables

I don't believe it's a violation of any spec, and I think
it's been done before.

One example I found lying around was draft-ietf-ifmib-invstackmib-00.txt,
which simply reversed the order of the ifStackTable index objects.
(I don't think this arrived on the standards track...)
