Bert, As I've said before, I think that's a backwards step. There's no point in having the TC either (a) if you have to still refine its definition/semantics in the DESCRIPTION of any object that uses it, or (b) if the name represents syntax, not semantics (I don't care how many other TCs people have already defined called "...OrZero" - that does not make them good - if only the syntax is common between various uses of such a TC, without there being common semantics, again I think the TC does not deserve to exist). Sorry for the repetitiocity - this argument does seem to be going around in non-diminishing circles.

" SYNTAX Integer32 (0 | 1..4094) I do a different descriptor and DESCRIPTION, something like: VlanIdentifierOrZero ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The VLAN ID that uniquely identifies a VLAN. The special value of zero is object-specific and must therefore be defined as part of the description of any object which uses this syntax. Examples of the usage of zero might include situations where VLAN ID is unknown, where a VLAN ID is not present, or where none or any VLAN ID need to be specified." " SYNTAX Integer32 (0 | 1..4094) And then possibly do away with the VlanIdentifierOrAny?
