Agree, the options defined in these two drafts are no different from any other
DHCP options introduced so far.

The 3GPP2 specification (to be published soon) is based on these drafts. 
Adopting
these options will have minimal (or no) impact on current implementations. 
I'm not sure
if there is any advantage on pursuing the VIVSO approach from a deployment 
perspective.

What additional justification you need from 3GPP2 given that the proposed 
options
have minimal impact on the current implementations plus it's in line with 
other DHCP
extensions. These are used for broadcast/multicast services which are 
currently being
standardized by other SDOs like 3GPP and OMA.
