With the issue that it's even uglier that the already-ugly-enough java scheme, and it gives an even less simple module->filename mapping. We could say that the module name is just a user-friendly term that means nothing to the language, and then import by URIs, but this doesn't answer includes. And I think we'd have to give some helpful words about the URI->filename mapping, such as "you could give a file that contains this mapping". >I have limited experience of using SNMP MIBs in larger NMS systems; >but is the current module name scheme of SMI a problem? If it is, we >should do something better. If it isn't, we shouldn't try to solve >it. In truth, it's rare and mostly seems to occur between multiple early versions of the same technology. The most common conflicts I could find (in a quick search) was "vlan-mib", "switch-mib", and, um, er, one other that I've forgotten. Rats. I'm happy (more than happy) to declare this a non-problem, but we declared it a non-problem a couple months ago and here it is again. Can we get a non-problem pre-first-meeting concensus and move on? My take is either it's not a problem, or it needs a once-and-for-all fix. I'm not a fan of the java naming scheme (or java at all), but the difference between "module ietf-vlan" and "module org.ietf.vlan" is zero. Hack, we could do non-reverse names: "module vlan.ietf.org". Either way, it's not a big deal. Let's pick an answer and get it off the table.
