Regarding this last text change, as I've said in earlier mail unicast
DHCPDISCOVER messages are used in DHCP proxy clients to send to a
configured DHCP server.  I'd prefer not to see this change made.

I will not ne able to attend the IETF meeting.  I would like to
continue discussion of DHCP and remote access issues, especially since
these seem relevant to changes going into the specs.  I can ask
someone else from Shiva to attend the DHC WG sessions, but that person
probably won't be able to discuss Shiva's DHCP code in depth since
it's separate from the area she's familiar with.  Can we continue this
discussion on the mailing list instead?
