Hm, let me be more clear about one thing.   I agree that it makes 
intuitive sense that if you have a two-way option, you needn't mention 
it in the ORO.   However, this makes implementation potentially more 
complicated, particularly in DHCPv6.   So I think there's some real 
value in just requiring that any option the client wants to get back 
should be specified in the ORO, rather than having some options where 
you have to ask for them in the ORO, and some options where you do not.
