Bernie,

As I understand Thomas' concerns part of the issue is that
the draft talks about leasequery being used when there isn't a DHCP lease.
Thus it's expanded to be able to ask questions about MAC/IP addresses
in general.

I think that distinction is quite important.
Arguing that DHCP be used to query information about DHCP leases
is one thing.
Arguing that DHCP is the right protocol to use to query about MAC/IP address
related information is a rather different thing.
