metric attributes subordinate to reset-timestamp

[Mark Ellison <ellison@ieee.org>]

Regarding the F2F conversation on metrics and instantiation times, etc.

I believe the metric would need to be subordinate to its 
reset-timestamp.  The reset action would target a named reset-timestamp 
and affect all metrics derived/associated with the given 
reset-timestamp.  So axiomatic metics and derived metrics would all be 
derived from a reset-timestamp, as a reset-able metric.

BTW, In SNMP the reset-timestamp is usually called "discontinuity time", 
but there is no concept of reset in
 SNMP.
