311 DateAndTimeOrZero
Didn't really have proposed resolution or rather we had a couple comments after the proposed resolution
Juergen’s Proposal
The DateAndTime TC does not define a special value which can be used in situations where a DateAndTime value is unknown or for some other reason not available. Several standards-track MIB modules use the value '0000000000000000'H in such situations. In order to formally legalize this established practice, the following errata to the DESCRIPTION clause of the DateAndTime TC is proposed:

OLD:
2 3 month 1..12
3 4 day 1..31

NEW:
2 3 month 0 | 1..12
3 4 day 0 | 1..31
Are any further changes to the description of entStateLastChanged required?
