Subject: "Object Resources" terminology between documents

Sorry for the cross posting but this could potential affect both groups.

	Earlier I had a difficulty with the term "object resources" used both
in the administrative model and the snmpMIB.  The terms seem to have entirely
different semantics in the two documents.

	In the security document it refers to the managed objects within a 
MIB view defined within a context.

	In the SNMPv2 document it is a table of resources advertised by the
vendor.  Each of these resources is described by an OID and a display string.

	Therefore I think it would avoid confusion if the references within
the OR group of the snmpMIB were changed to something along the lines of
"advertised enterprise resources".  Would this be leaving the semantics of the
OR group?  Or is this concern just a frivilous worry and no one else cares?
