I have no real problem either way; unless I hear someone else argue for making it automatic in the next couple of days, I will delete the last two sentences of the first paragraph of the IANA Considerations so that it will read:
This document requires the establishment of a new SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm Registry, which is referenced in the above MIB as being located at "http://www.iana.org/assignments/tlstm-parameters/";. The initial values for this table MUST be identical to the contents of the TLS HashAlgorithm Registry (RFC 5246). While future additions to the IANA TLS HashAlgorithm Registry are not expected, any future addition to the IANA TLS HashAlgorithm Registry MUST be consistent with the values assigned in the proposed IANA SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm Registry.
