HI,

I'm not sure how the URI is suppose to be translated into
SNMP operations, since I couldn't figure out how you
determined which SNMP protocol (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3/USM,
SNMPv3/SBSM, etc) you were suppose to use.

Also, I'm curious why it doesn't support values. With values,
you have a "concise" way to express a SET, or notification
(TRAPv1, TRAPv2, or INFORM) operation.
Also, I don't know "what would be displayed" in a browser
that supported this URI.

Note also, that if the URI is just to "name" (identify)
management info (and not to access it), then the URI
doesn't need a user name. (Just naming management info
is a "good thing".)

So, I'm confused about the usage of the URIs, since they
provide more info needed to just name (identify) management
info, but yet they don't provide enough info to access
management info. And they don't provide values of management
info.
