Hi,

After some more discussion there may be another way that actually is 
better. As the MIB is do dependent on the semantics the proposal would 
be to retarget RFC 3989 to proposed standard. Then we keep that as 
normative reference. The other two (RFC 3303, RFC 3404) both are moved 
to informational part of the reference list. Any comments on this?

Cheers

Magnus Westerlund
