Re: [NGO] external module properties

This is also how enterpise MIB modules work; only cisco is allowed to
assign OID under the cisco tree.

The only registry IANA needs to define for enterprise MIBs is the one
that assigns subtrees based on enterpiseID, i.e. IANA delegates the
assignment authority for the subtree of private to the owner of the
enterpriseID.
