Some more red tape.

The copyright in the MIB module is 2004.

You used the word 'SHALL' in s.3 which says to me that you need a
reference to RFC2119 and the boilerplate associated with it.

Normally, anything with a MIB Module in it contains standard MIB
boilerplate about the standard management framework; but this MIB Module
contains no objects, just identities, so does it need the boilerplate?
I would say not, but RFC4181 says it does (which in turn drags in four
more references)!  need guidance there.  You should at least include
RFC2578 in the references since that appears in this MIB module.

I must re-read RFC4181 - I suspect that there is more in there to be
added to this I-D.
