Dear Juergen and ops-area team, 

We have posted a new draft (attached) in substitution of draft-galimbe-kunze-g-698-2-snmp-mib-02.
The two docs. differences reflect the comments we have received and the file name (to comply with ccamp naming).
We appreciate any comment and suggestion before the IETF docs dead line submission.

Best regards, 

The Authors

Well, its a long MIB. You should really not use a module name already
in use and a module registration you do not own. I also strongly
suggest to do an editorial pass over it to achieve a consistent layout
and indentation. Tools tend to extract strings and they pay attention
to indentation and such things. Is Integer32 always the right data
type? Can you have negative power etc? The copyright says 2003 and the
text says it is part of RFC 3591 and the ATOM WG. I think a serious
editorial pass over the document is needed before this should be
reviewed.
