I have a couple of questions about the text.

in section 2:

  "The following three options ..."

there are only two options now.

and further on in section 2:

   "Len is the two-octet value of the length ..."

is that correct? these are 16-bit length v4 options? the accompanying 
picture looks like regular 8-bit lengths are intended.

in section 7.1, should there be a sentence guiding clients? section 7 
only discusses server behavior or configuration right now. should it 
include something to the effect that clients should ask for the new 
options along with the deprecated one? or that they should prefer the 
new options over the deprecated one if they receive both from their server?

other than those three questions, I support advancement of this draft.

Thanks,
Mark
