Given that RFC 1850 has been around for over 17 years and there are many 
existing implementations, I would suffice it to say that this correction would 
not in and of itself warrant a revision. 
OTOH, there are problems with the OSPFv3 MIB ranges that should be corrected 
with a revision. 

Thanks,
Acee
