RE: [Sip] mib-08

Steve,

Actually implementation experience and interoperability is required only when time comes to advance a standards track Proposed Standard to Draft Standard phase. Although 'pre-standard' implementations are not discouraged in I-D phase, one cannot ensure interoperable versions before the standard, because the OID allocation for the root of the MIB module under mib-2 is being performed by IANA only very late, prior to the RFC publication.

Whether the document will be a standards track, or not, is an IESG decision based on the WG recommendation.  

Regards,

Dan
