	One of the items that needs clarification for the Host Options
Considerations draft is the removal of host name <-> IP address updates.
Specifically, is there a way for a client to ask a DHCP server to remove
an update without giving up its lease?  Two suggestions were made at the
Minneapolis meeting:  either the client should send a zero-length host
name or a new bit in the FQDN option flags field could be allocated to
convey the request.
	There was no concensus at the WG meeting on the need for such a
facility, so I'm polling the mailing list to see whether it's felt we
should pursue this further.  Personally, I believe that if a way of doing
it is to be offered, we should not change the way the Host Name option
is used but instead use the FQDN option to express the request.
