	From the latest (April 1993) appletalk mib2 document;

	[Page 32]
          -- An index for this table is atportZoneName.  Since AppleTalk
          -- zones are case-insensitive, note the following:  when
          -- processing a Get Request, the agent should evaluate using
          -- an exact match (according to normal SNMP rules).  When
          -- processing a Set Request, if an exact match is found,
          -- the Set should proceed as normal.  If a match is found using
          -- a case-insensitive comparison (i.e. if the two zone names
          -- match according to AppleTalk rules), the agent should return
          -- an error.  If no match is found, the set should proceed as
          -- normal.  This insures that only one version of a zone name
          -- will appear in each agent, at the expense of forcing a
          -- management station to query using that exact name.

	What is the error to be returned when a case-insensitive match is
found during a SET?  NoSuchName, GenErr,....  The best I can think of is 
BadValue but whatever value it is, it does need to be specified in the
document.
