[Gen-art] Re: Gen-ART review of draft-schoenw-snmp-ether-01.txt

I only put a comment not a discuss so you can decide to do whatever  
you want with this and don't need to wait for me - in truth I don't  
see a risk in implementors actually implement the wrong thing so I  
don't care but .....

I like the stuff you proposed - also I would change

In
    When an SNMP entity uses this transport mapping, it MUST be capable
    of accepting SNMP messages up to and including 484 octets in size.
    It is recommended that implementations be capable of accepting
    messages of up to 1472 octets in size.  Implementation of larger
    values is encouraged whenever possible.

I would move recommended to RECOMMENDED
