#15: DThaler comments on nat-mib-06

 1) Section 5 of the current draft has
 " Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
    MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
    vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus important to
    control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
    to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
    the network via SNMP."

 Per http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/ops/trac/wiki/mib-security
 that's supposed to be followed with
 " These are the tables and objects and their
    sensitivity/vulnerability:

     <list the tables and objects and state why they are sensitive>"

 Also the document has 2 paragraphs of text "There are a number of managed
 objects in this MIB that may contain ...
 versions of SNMP provide features for such a secure environment."
 which do not appear in the current MIB boilerplate at the link above.
 Should those 2 paragraphs be removed?

 2) Section 5 contains MUST, SHOULD, etc.   But the document is missing
 the boilerplate reference to RFC 2119.

 3) Section 6 does not say whether any additional actions for IANA are
 needed.  Suggest adding "No IANA actions are required by this document."

 4) The MIB compiler I used complained about this:
 > natMappingPool OBJECT-TYPE
 >     SYNTAX NatPoolId (0|1..4294967295)
 Because of
 > NatPoolId ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
 >     SYNTAX Unsigned32 (1..4294967295)

 That is, NatPoolId does not allow 0, and so natMappingPool cannot add it
 and still use the NatPoolId syntax.
