[dhcwg] Options in base doc for DHCPv6

We've recently experienced a proliferation of proposed and defined options 
for DHCPv6.  Initially, the WG agreed to publish all options that were 
defined at the time the base spec was completed in the same doc.  I'm 
having second thoughts about that decision.  Here's what I'm thinking:

* The new options are adding more weight to
   an already hefty document
* Keeping all the options in one doc make
   updating any one option more complicated
* Reviewing all of these options will slow
   down the acceptance process

I propose that we put a moratorium on adding any new options to 
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-22.txt, and move any non-essential options out of 
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-22.txt into individual drafts.  The definition of 
"essential" is open to discussion; here's a first pass at a list of the 
options to retain in draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-22.txt:

* DHCP unique identifier option
* Identity association option
* IA Address option
* Requested Temporary Addresses (RTA) Option
* Option request option
* Preference option
* Elapsed Time
* Client message option
* Server message option
* Authentication option
* Server unicast option
* Domain Search Option
* Domain Name Server Option
* Status Code Option
