Subject: JMP> JobID Table Indexing

Tom, in v1, there were inconsistent implementations when using strings as an
index. In some cases, the octet string would be preceded by it's length

 e.g. get-request jmJobIndex.5.h.a.r.r.y

In other cases, the length of the  octet string would be IMPLIED by
the length of the OID, so the 'length' indication wasn't included.

      get-request jmJobIndex.h.a.r.r.y

I think v2 tried to address this inconsistency by Adding 'IMPLIED'
to the declaration which clearly indicates the 'length' should be omitted.

     jmJobIDEntry  OBJECT-TYPE
       ...
       INDEX { IMPLIED jmJobSubmissionIDIndex }
       ...

I would like to request that you change the definition of jmJobIDEntry as such.
