Error in powernet455.mib

The latest? PowerNet-MIB (powernet455.mib, Created: Saturday, October, 26, 2024) has an error. Line 21:

>ERROR: Nested EXP tags are NOT allowed!

this causes failure with net-snmp, and probably other managers. Simply deleting that line fixes it. I suspect it's some cruft which got in there by mistake, probably a bad copy/paste since it's part of a version history commented "This version history section is for internal-to-APC MIB comments only." Guessing Sharon Thomas made a mistake - her comment "Adding OID pmmInputMeterFirmwareRevision for RPP." is inaccurate, that OID is not found in the MIB.

Also, the maintainers are getting lazy with the public version history. They stopped giving version numbers, and it ends at 08/30/2024. Too, the date formats are inconsistent, some are DD/MM/YYYY, others MM/DD/YYYY.
