While reviewing briefly the following MIB modules :

draft-ietf-pwe3-enet-mib-06.txt 
draft-ietf-pwe3-pw-tc-mib-06.txt
draft-ietf-pwe3-pw-mib-06.txt
draft-ietf-pwe3-cep-mib-06.txt
draft-ietf-pwe3-pw-mpls-mib-07.txt

Few issues to consider and or fix:

1-in early version of all, the object  pwStdMIB was used as the MIB root
        FROM PW-TC-STD-MIB
   now it became pwMIB but not in consistent way. Should be fixed.
   Examples: CEP MIB, pg 7, pg 8 and IANA section pg 62
                    PW TC MIB pg 2 and 3 conflict with pg 11

2- MIB root should not be listed with exact location until assigned by
IANA. It should be listed as X 
    With recommended location in comment
     Example:MPLS MIB pg 7.
                  PW MIB pg 10

3- In earlier version Vc was part of the object names, like pwVcIndex
        FROM PW-STD-MIB
    now Vc was removed in most cases but not in all.
    Maybe we should agree to remove from all modules.

4-While referencing an objects from one MIB in another MIB module, the
object name should be accurate.
   Example: ENET MIB pg 5 pwIndex is used incorrectly

5-I think PW MIB as the base MIB module should have more explicit
examples on usage, text of section 4.1, and
   section 6, not just listing values for objects with no semantic 

6-section 5 of PW MIB should be consistent with section 6 of ENET MIB.
If the PW is an interface it has a single
   presence in the IF-MIB with single type. 

7-pwLastChange in PW MIB should have TimeStamp as syntax

8-Time elapse should not be counted for interval. It is used for current
and placed in the interval table upon reaching 15min.
   PW MIB pg 28
9-There is an  error in the header-footer of the CEP MIB
