Hi, reading out of context...
 
"Sparse augmentation" is a term of art for MIB modules.
It means that the table rows are not augmented 1:1. Only those rows that are wanted to be augmented, are augmented.

3. ’Sparse’ is very much used in MIB and is explicitly identified. We also added this after we received the comment as part of AD review (Ref: Dec 28 2013) that, we didn’t clearly identify ‘sparse’ auguments.
I read that comment as saying the same thing as me (i.e., the wrong word).  Be that as it may, "sparse" really isn't the right word - it just sounds wrong to my ear.  The main dictionary definition is " thinly dispersed or scattered." .  As I said previously "limited" or "slight" would be (IMO) better if you feel it is necessary but in most of the cases the text would not be damaged by leaving it out altogether.  Now it is (almost) a standard, whether it is limited or sparse or anything else is moot - implementers just have to get on with it!
