I don't think that's a safe assumption.  It certainly may be more
likely, but some contexts are merely different views on the same
data.  I've even seen MIBs written where different contexts are merely
different ways of accessing the same data.  Simultaneous SETs to those
MIBs in different contexts would break things.

madanagopal> Where and how to modify?

I forget...  Robert would likely know off the top of his head...

In theory, you certainly could develop a smarter system where
registrations would be allowed to specify a level of Independence...
It would simply take work to make that happen.
