The owner objects in each table are currently writable at any time.  
It seems to me that they are good candidates for the 
not_writable_when_status_is_valid restriction.  Allowing owner
strings to be changed during data collection seems sort of counter
to the accountability features we wanted to achieve for multiple
manager support don't you think?

[note that this is a suggestion for the next version of the mib]
