Maybe I'm not making myself clear. Take the context of an an engineer trying to implement this MIB module. Commonly such engineers will not be experts in SNMP or IETF standard data modules. Take the context of an engineer writing the mgmt app usin said MIB module. They also might not know where to look for said information. A best practice would not be useful here as it doesn't provide prescriptive relationship. And it has been common practice for a given MIB module to explain its relationship to other MIB modules. This greatly improves interoperability in my experience.
