RE: [dhcwg] Options in base doc for DHCPv6

Let me reiterate - just because *we* don't see any controversy in the 
current set of options doesn't mean the IESG won't have questions about one 
or more of them.  And, Ted is right - we can back options out at a later 
date if there's a problem.  Personally, I'd rather give the IESG as small 
as possible a target when the draft gets to them...

So, Barr, you proposed a list of questions to ask about options (which is 
included below).  We need to come to closure - I'd like to have that 
closure by this afternoon so we can finish the draft over the weekend - 
who's willing to volunteer a straw-person list of options for the DHCPv6 draft?
