when this draft was discussed in the MIP6 bootstrapping
design team, many people wanted to integrate the two DHCP
options into
draft-ietf-mip6-bootstrapping-integrated-dhc-01.txt.
this was mainly because the options defined in the document
have limited applicability beyond the integrated scenario
solution document. the only other mechanism is to manually
configure the DHCP servers in the visited link with
information like home agent address, home address and home
prefix. this is a bad idea.

there was some opposition and we never reached an agreement.

so I suggest including these options into the integrated
scenario solution document for these options to get
standardized quickly.
