This make sense to me. I will note, however, that current wording in
the concat draft could be interpret to suggest that it's intended for
future options and maybe less so for existing options. If the intent
is in fact that it the concat draft should apply to *all* DHCP
options, then taking out the reference would be fine.

If that is the intent, I'll go ahead and start the IETF last call on
domsearch.
