Keith,

Okay, then I need to back up and ask a much simpler question.  Is my 
assumption, "...the minimal MIB-II implementation has the system and 
snmp groups" bogus?  

I'll argue that having individual snmp groups in this case adds no value.

Do you see the chassis MIB providing guidance in this area, or will it
be left an implementation specific issue?
