  I have a procedural question and a technical comment.
  
  Question: can this document proceed to Draft Standard even though
  it depends on documents that are only at Proposed Standard,
  specificially RFC 1442?  As an aside, I'm surprised to see that
  RFC 1442 was omitted from the References section of the document.

Given the current state of affairs in that area, it seems like we need to
do seems to be to eliminate the SNMPv2 boilerplate and framework entirely
and replace the MIB notification section with one that is based upon native
SNMPv1 identifiers.  All of this is basicly mechanical translation of text.

Jeff, would you be willing to take a whack at the draft this week
or next week with me?

Yakov, do you have access to the nroff source from John?
