[Note: the IESG is starting to review this document, and I'm getting questions comments on the ID]. This document specifies that DNS Names are represented in DNS on-the-wire formate, and compression MUST be supported. I understand that DHCPv4 supports this now (with recent options). But there is also complexity associated with the compression part. In DHCPv4, options were limited in size (255 bytes). DHCPv6 doesn't have this restriction. So the need for compression is reduced. How about just removing the requirement to support compression. This will simplify implementations and doesn't appear to result in any real loss of functionality.
