I suggest the no OID be specified with the response as
it clear by the semantics of the protocol that it is
paired with the request (this is, after all, why it is
OPTIONAL).  Or follow the StartTLS example and use the
same OID for paired request and responses (the OID
identifies the "operation" instead of the PDU).
