Hmm, good idea. I add my voice to this question.

But, btw, SNMP implementations are extremely buggy. Last 2 examples from my
experience (with snmpstat system):
- I found Cisco which have packet countters (on interface) _decreased_
instead of _increased_ (but octet counters are _increased_);
And lately, for reasons undetermined so far there has been instances of both vendor C and J where counters suddenly go to zero either temporarily (like 1,2,3,4,0,6,7,8,0,10,etc.) or reset altogether without any reason.
