It was previously agreed that we'd add a "Suggested OID Layout"
appendix to the MIB review guidelines document to implement this
suggestion.  I am in the process of drafting the text for that
appendix, and I would like to have an example.  The only one at my
fingertips is <draft-ietf-hubmib-power-ethernet-mib-08.txt>.  While
that draft is reasonably stable (IETF Last Call expires today and as
far as I know there have been no comments) and is adequate for the
job (prior publication isn't necessary, as it will only be an
informative reference), I would nonetheless prefer to point to a
published RFC. Can anyone point me to a suitable one?

Thanks,

Mike
