One other question about this draft: it proposes extending the Confirm message to stateful options other than IA_NA.   Presumably, the option we're most interested in is IA_PD, but how would a DHCP server without access to the client binding state know that a PD was valid?   Are we talking about a scenario like Leaf Yeh's prefix pool option, whether the server simply validates that the proposed prefixes are within the pool that is assigned to the specific PE router?
