My post was a little rash. SMIv2 as specified in rfc2578 uses some features, 
that are not in accordance with Recommendation X.208.

-- Yes, according to the 2nd paragraph in section 7.1.1 in rfc2578, but 
-- no according to X.208. 

Since the relevant standard here is rfc2578, the final answer is yes.

Before my next post, I will try to do a complete survey of the relevant
