I would like to know the reasons why they can't use the
INET-ADDRESS-MIB definitions. Except that they broke several things,
the definitions are not that much different. OK, it looks like they
want to treat AS numbers the same as addresses. But since you can't do
unions of a arbitrary SNMP base types, this won't work anyway. If they
need such a union, they have to use multiple objects anyway and in
this case the INET-ADDRESS-MIB definitions should be OK.

(And it somehow strikes me to consider an AS number an address
anyway.)
