Irfan,

The existing MIBs contain worked examples that include all of the
cross-references between MIBs.
It is generally not good practice to include this sort of material in two places
and it would be an editorial nightmare.

I can well believe that a full worked example of how to make all of the MIBs in
a system hang together in detail would be hugely useful.  I don't believe,
however, that this should live in an Internet Draft.  You may find this
information in Tom's book when it is published (that'll be $10 please, Tom) or
more likely get it as a tutorial from your software vendor.

We will, however, look at beefing up the 'dependencies' sections to describe the
abstract references between the MIBs to make it still clearer how they relate to
each other.

Regards,
Adrian
