The meat isn't missing.   It's just in the draft that defines how the 
server is supposed to do it.   There is a normative reference to that 
draft in the FQDN draft.   The FQDN draft defines the format of the 
FQDN option and what the bits in it mean.   The reason they're in two 
separate drafts is that the IESG asked us to split the draft describing 
how DHCP does DNS updates into three drafts - one to describe the DNS 
RRtype, one to describe the DHCP option, and one to describe their 
interaction.   Are you now asking that we merge the three drafts 
(actually, it's grown to five!) back into one?

As for your question about names that are _already_ in the DNS, this is 
addressed in the DNS name conflict resolution draft (and has been 
addressed in that draft for six years, and was addressed in the joint 
draft before the draft was split into three).   I also addressed it in 
the email to which you are replying.

I would like to encourage you to read these drafts, in their current 
versions, thoroughly.   If you have specific changes you would like to 
suggest, please suggest them.  Include the wording you would like 
changed, removed, or added.  Please make sure that your suggestions 
address the set of drafts, not just one specific draft.   For example, 
if you don't feel that the FQDN draft adequately clues the reader in to 
the fact that they need to read the conflict resolution draft, suggest 
the wording you would like us to add to address that problem.

Otherwise it's impossible to make forward progress - we either have to 
declare consensus without you, or not advance the drafts, and neither 
of these choices is desirable.
