Hi Dave,
From my experience one would not only need to split an arbitrary OID
into class (object) ID and instance ID. Rather it would be nice to split an OID into class ID and a sequence of index sub-identifiers accompanied with corresponding index relevant object type information.
In the second step it would be nice to get returned the values of the index objects as well, since it might be redundant work for each API user to convert a string sub-index OID into its string value. Especially, when the user does not know whether the string is of variable length or fixed (implied) length.
Regards, Frank (the other one ;-)
