A question about the "SNMPv2 SMI" that is being recommended
for advancement to Draft Standard...

The object syntax, UInteger32 [APPPLICATION 7] is defined
in both the May31 i-drafts as well as the more recent
*kzm*alt* i-drafts.

QUESTION: Is there any reason why this type needs to be advanced 
          with the rest of the SMI?   Should it be removed from
	  the SMI (as we did for NsapAddress)?
	  
The only mib that refernces this data type is the V2-PARTY-MIB 
which I presume is being sent to "historic".  Or is this bad 
presumption on my part?  If my presumption is bad, what is the 
WG recommendation w.r.t. the current Proposed Standard SNMPv2 
Admin Framework and Party MIB?
