Subject: BGP-4 MIBv2 NLRI Table

Hi Folks,
I noticed that the NLRI Table in the BGP4 MIBv2 (draft 2) has the 
following index clause:

      INDEX {
            bgpM2PeerIndex,
            bgpM2NlriAfi,
            bgpM2NlriSafi,
            bgpM2NlriPrefixLen,
            bgpM2NlriPrefix,
            bgpM2NlriIndex
            }

Is there a reason that the bgpM2NlriPrefixLen and bgpM2NlriPrefix 
objects are the opposite order to what one might normally expect? 
For example, in the BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table of 
RFC1657 the index clause is:

      INDEX { 	
            bgp4PathAttrIpAddrPrefix,
            bgp4PathAttrIpAddrPrefixLen,
            bgp4PathAttrPeer            
            }
                    
Thanks,
