At the risk of another "tweeet" from Jeff, I wonder if people think it
would be useful to have an additional explanatory section (i.e., not 
in the MIB section) in the document give an example of how a sample
configuration of modules in a chassis would be represented in the MIB 
e.g., a cross-mixture of Dave's example and the one which indirectly
led to the formation of this WG (extract from last November's Repeater 
MIB WG meeting minutes reproduced below).

  EXAMPLE

          Slot         Device         Backplane
            1             1               1
            2             1               1
            3             2               1
            3             2               2
            4             3               2
            5             3               2

          devices 1,3 are repeaters; device 2 is a bridge.
