Nagi -
	Good point.  I have modified the text of the Description clause,
included below.  The isisSysLevelSetOverload object remains read-create.  It
is also included below for reference.
	The LevelState TC includes both overloaded (natural causes) and
waiting (set by administrator) so that a manager can tell why the system's
overload bit is set.

             The value 'overloaded' indicates a database that is
             low on an essential resource, such as memory.
             The administrator may indirectly force the state to
             'waiting' when the router is initializing by setting
             the object isisSysLevelSetOverload.
             If the state is waiting or overloaded, we
             originate LSPs with the Overload bit set."
