Inacio,

thanks for your comments. While going through them, we were not sure
what you meant with your common on Figure 1:

  Maybe a little too implementation specific. This could all be
  represented in DTMF CIM format with a translation to SNMP/MIB.

Can you please elaborate? My view is that "Instrumentation" is really
meant as being implementation specific and the figure does not rule
out that your instrumentation is in fact a DMTF CIM store as long as
it provides MIB object instrumentation consistent with definitions in
MIB modules.

Perhaps you can propose concrete edits to make it easier for us to
understand what you think should be changed?
