terminology nit



Hi,

I noticed in this MIB in IETF Last Call that the term "trap" is used
instead of "notification" in several MIB objects.  Is this important
enough or can we officially accommodate this very common mistake?

I don't want to tell them "trap is wrong -- use notification because
that means trap or inform".  They don't care about that.
I would rather let it slide and accept that "trap" is a generic term
in the wider SNMP community.
I expect MIB Doctors to disagree, because you're all SNMP experts.
(Then one of you can point it out to the L3VPN WG.  :-)
