I donot immediately see why SNMPv3 packets could not be sent 
with an RFC1089 encapsulation. (not that the status of RFC1089 is
UNKNOWN by the way).

Note that RFC1449 also did not include 1089 encapsulation
(as far as I can tell from a quickj scan). So it seems it already
was not too important anymore around early 90s.

I am not so sure the old snmp list is still active. I never get emails
on that one anymore (or so I bleieve).
