It would make more sense if init_MibName was initializing more than one table.

And I've always thought it should be more like:

 void init_MibName(void)
 {
    if(should_init(tableName))
      initialize_table_tableName();
 }


to allow runtime disabling of individual tables. The new MFD helper generates
code like this.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
