MIB SYNTAX checking (compiling a MIB) is part of the I-D nits page.
And it tells you how to do it. You can just email your MIB
to smilint: smilint@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de
You would be suprised how many MIB documents we get on IESG plate
that clearly have not even gone through a basic MIB-compile to do
the SYNTAX check
