So this is a point I've never been clear on:

Say I've got a table, and I've just gotten a GETNEXT request for the OID 
of one of the column heads.  Should I return the OID for the next column 
head or the OID of the first field of that column?

On a similar note, I've been looking at pass and pass_persist for some 
light updates I've been doing, instead of taking down, modifying and 
recompiling/retesting the subagent every time I want to add something -- 
because it's not the fastest process in the world.  If I've got a MIB 
file that covers my whole sub-tree, is there a way I can parse that in, 
say, python or perl, and get some kind of data structure from which I 
can follow a link to the next OID in the tree?  Of course this would 
require special handling for tables, since most of their OIDs aren't 
contained in MIB files, but I can handle that.  I'm just a fan of not 
reinventing the wheel if there's already a way for me to get a MIB tree 
from my MIB file.
