There is right now very little support for checking agent capability clauses. This is an area where people who actually use agent capability clauses are more than welcome to contribute patches...

Running 'smilint -l 6 IP-FORWARD-MIB' generates among other things:
IP-FORWARD-MIB:649: warning: named number `is-is' must not include a hyphen in SMIv2
If you think you have found a bug, please send small MIB fragments. It would be even more helpful if you write them as test modules (see test/mibs/LIBS-TEST-xxx-MIB for examples) so that we can include them in the regression test suite to ensure that fixed bugs will never show up again.
