The first thing to do would be to run them through 'smilint' (or similar)
to validate the syntax.   Our MIB parsing tools are fairly easy-going,
and will accept not-quite-valid MIBs.
   smilint is extremely picky, and will report on all sorts of errors and
inconsistencies.   Best to get these dealt with before you go live.

Once your MIBs pass this sort of check, you might want to consider
posting them here (assuming they're not commercially sensitive!),
so we can comment on any design decisions that you might come
to regret later.
   It's difficult to make sensible comments about MIB fragments,
taken in isolation.   It's much easier when you've got the whole
thing to look at, and can get a better feel for the overall structure.
