Does anyone on the list know of such a reference?  What I want is
an RFC that contains a definition using an enumerated integer with
values that don't start at 1 and/or are non-contiguous for a "good
reason".  The example I cited was this TC from "Syslog Device
Configuration MIB", <draft-ietf-syslog-device-mib-01.txt> ...

SyslogSeverity  ::=  TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This textual convention maps out to the severity levels
         of syslog messages.  The syslog protocol uses the values
         0 (emergency), to 7 (debug)."
    SYNTAX  INTEGER {
                      emergency(0),
                      alert(1),
                      critical(2),
                      error(3),
                      warning(4),
                      notice(5),
                      info(6),
                      debug(7)
                    }

Something similar a published document is what I want.  Either an
object definition or a TC would be OK.
