Oh! Very good suggestion.

Strong +1 re Ted's suggestion. :)  Especially in a new specification,
I really like the idea of putting the onus on the access concentrator.

I'd like to see it made explicit, if the change you suggest is made,
that it must be requested in the ORO so as to avoid implementors of
the access concentrator missing that and DHCP server implementors
having to add the special code anyway to work around that.

Regards,
Stephen
