I can say that no two attribute values are equivalent as described by Section 2.3 of [Models].

The current text says:
"The requestName is a dotted-decimal representation of the unique OBJECT IDENTIFIER corresponding to the request."
and later in the instructions for extended operation specifications, it states that a specification assigns the OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
Is this insufficient?
