nEarly
notation for OID values (allocations) looked like:
n {iso standard 8571 etc}
nSNMP
started the rot: use simply a
character representation of the
encoding: 1.0.8571.etc for human
consumption.
nThe
change from "ccitt" to "itu-t" in
"joint-iso-ccitt" also caused
problems.
nThe numeric form is now accepted as valid
notation.
nNames are now regarded as not normative.
