  This MAY leaves things very ambiguous. When should they do this? When
  not?  It would be much better to have a clear algorithm the client
  always follows. Otherwise, you'll get different implementations doing
  different things, which is probably not good for interoperability.

Response: Remove All_DHCP_Servers as destination for Information-request
message; deleted cited text from section 18.1.5.
