[Entmib] FW: [psg.com #334] AutoReply: Table, Index Descriptions

The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-334. The issue 
will be considered closed pending the proposed edit being done.

In the description for entStateTable replace

"A table of information about state/status of entities.
 This is a sparse augment of the entPhysicalTable.
           "
With

"A table of information about state/status of entities.
 This is a sparse augment of the entPhysicalTable. Entries 
 appear in this table for values of entPhysicalClass [RFC2737]
 that in this implementation are able to report any of the state 
 or status stored in this table.
"

In the description for entStateEntry replace

"State information about this entity."

With

"State information about this physical entity."

"The SMI requires that the DESCRIPTION for the row of a table describe 
the index item is that item is not a column in the table. And the 
DESCRIPTION clause for entStateEntry does not provide the needed info.

In general, why is there a "sparse relationship". When should state be 
provided and when should it not?"
