SNMP - Additional Option Question

Wouldn't you use vendor specific options to do something like that?  
Seems that it would be more RFC compliant.  I say "seems" because I'm 
not sure.  Please anyone correct if I'm wrong.

option space vendor-options;
option vendor-options.platform-name     code 1  = text;
option vendor-options.someotheroption   code 2  = text;
option vendor-options-43 code 43 = encapsulate vendor-options;

But I do agree with Rene, you would also need to make some declaration 
in the client side config file.
