Very cool. I think it might be a better idea to move the centralized list to the handbook, since hypertext is a better medium for a list that will potentially be very long and contain many cross-references. Short descriptions next to MIBs would be nice. Also, sorting first by category and then by alphabetical order might be more helpful.
