The current ID explicitly breaks SMI syntax in 2 ways. I am saying that
this ID needs to be fixed. I am not saying the RFC 1759 based systems
have to be retrofitted. (As an aside, I believe that notifcations may
contain additional objects not explicitly named in the MIB. However, the
named objects must be contained)
