4.9 Standard Management Interfaces

   The wide-spread deployment of MPLS requires common information 
   modeling of management and control of OAM functionality. This is 
   reflected in the the integration of standard MPLS-related MIBs 
   (e.g. [RFC3813][RFC3812][RFC3814]) for fault, statistics and 
   configuration management. These standard interfaces provide 
   operators with common programmatic interface access to
   operations and management functions and their status.


... Beyond the word repetition in the 3rd line ...

What is (are) the requirement(s)? This is in a requirements section. A
common information model? Which one, needs it be defined in the IETF,
some other place? SNMP support? Define another MIB module for MPLS OAM?
The listed MIB documents have no direct relation with MPLS OAM. 

I believe that this section needs clarification and re-wording.
