Bud and all,

Am I missing something here?  If so, please set me straight...

1. RFC 2132 (options 24, 26, 35, 51, etc.) uses the same convention.

2. RFC 3495, which was approved by this group not two months ago,  is using 
this same convention (in multiple locations).  How did this convention fall 
out of favor in the last two months?

3. Given that RFC 3495 employs this convention, and given that this draft 
is a follow-on addition to 3495 (i.e. it will be implemented by all who are 
currently implementing 3495), I do not want to change conventions unless 
absolutely necessary.

???
