At first glance, two issues jump out at me:

Section B.1.1 does not indicate whether the option is for DHCPv4 or  
DHCPv6.  The option code and length fields are 16 bits wide, which  
implies DHCPv6, but the examples in subsequent sections imply DHCPv4.   
DHCPv4 options encode the option code and length as a single octet  
each.  (Section B.1.1 also references RFC 3315, implying DHCPv6.)

Section B.1.1 specifies that the option contains a list of DNS names,  
but the ISC DHCP examples in section B.1.2 are for an option  
containing a list of IPv4 addresses.
