Subject: AT MIBS--NBP fields r/w??

In RFC1243 and the AppleTalk MIB II, why did we set the fields of the
nbpTable, and particularly object, type, and zone, as read-write??  Did
anyone ever actually implement this?!?  If so, did you have to change your
internal interfaces for deregister to allow the calling service to refer to
the name by handle or index, and not by name, in your deregister API? Did
you run into any other service synchronization problems with registered
names now tweakable by outside administrative action?

Just curious.
