The comments are partiallybased on the MIB Doctor review performed by Orly Niklass

1. In the Security Considerations section: 

the pwMplsTable, pwMplsNonTeMappingTable and pwMplsTeMappingTable
      collectively contain objects to provision PW over MPLS tunnels.
      Unauthorized access to objects in these tables, could result in
      disruption of traffic on the network.  The use of stronger
      mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be considered where
      possible.  Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM MUST be used with any
      v3 agent which implements this MIB module.  Administrators should
      consider whether read access to these objects should be allowed,
      since read access may be undesirable under certain circumstances.

Two problems here: 
- the security threat resulting from intentionalor unintentional mis-configuration of the obects in the pwMplsTable, pwMplsNonTeMappingTable and pwMplsTeMappingTable should be explicitly stated, as the consequences may be partial or total loss of service for customers connected through the PW which is more than just disruption of traffic. 
- The should in the second phrase SHOULD be capitalized

  'single hop there is an MPLS tunnel - even though the actual packet'
                                                 
Why do we have the dash?

 
4) 

OLD: there is

-- conformance information
 
       pwMplsGroups      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pwMplsConformance 1 }
       pwMplsCompliances OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pwMplsConformance 2 }
 

Normally (as listed in RFC4181) we order then with
    Compliances first and then Groups.

Editorial nits from Stephen Hanna's SecDir review:
In section 6, the word "require" in the third bullet should be
"required". Later in that bullet, "pwMplsTeOutbaoundTable" should be
"pwMplsTeOutboundTable" (remove an 'a').  In the first paragraph of
section 7, "pwTbale" should be "pwTable".
