It might be helpful to clarify what is meant with the following
stated requirements:

  R3.  The XSD datatype specified for a given SMI datatype MUST include
       and restrictions on values associated with the SMI datatype.

  R4.  The XSD datatype specified for a given SMI datatype MUST be the
       most direct XSD datatype, with the most parsimonious
       restrictions, which matches the foregoing requirements.

You seem to want SMI <=> XSD equivalence (I assume this because you
carry the 128 subidentifier OID restriction forward) while in other
places people are fine with just SMI => XSD mapping. Note that it is a
very fundamental design decision to require equivalence and will be of
much more importance once you move to TCs and you look at the stuff
that is more challenging.
