You can (even in a separate document) define an additional MODULE-COMPLIANCE
statement (for example name it : prtMIBFinisherDeviceCompliance) and in that
statement you only list the groups that make sense for such a device.
A matter of getting consensus on in your wg. Finisher devices can then
claim the new compliance instead of the prMIB or prtMIB2 compliance that
they cannot achieve.
Hope this helps,
Bert
