Re: [dhcwg] Interface

Following up on Erik's comments...

So, what I wrote in the -20d rev turns out to be (I did some last minute 
wordsmithing that [may or may not have] improved the readability:

    The Confirm message MUST be transmitted on the link that the
    interface for which configuration information is being obtained
    is attached to.  The client SHOULD send the message through that
    interface.  If the client has multiple interfaces attached to the
    same link, the client MAY choose to send the message through another
    interface attached to that link.

and (for those messages that might be unicast):

    If the client multicasts the Request message, the message MUST be
    transmitted on the link that the interface for which configuration
    information is being obtained is attached to.  The client SHOULD
    send the message through that interface.  If the client has multiple
    interfaces attached to the same link, the client MAY choose to send
    the message through another interface attached to that link.

I will substitute Erik's suggested replacement for the last sentence:

The client MAY send the message through another interface attached
to the same link if and only if the client is certain that the two
interfaces are attached to the same link.
