Good point and yes, this may be confusing.
Here's a proposed rewording for all the affected object description clauses (it's a bit of a convoluted rewording but that's the best I could come up with):
Replace:
<         If this object is of value '0.0.0.0', the MTA MUST stop 
<         all provisioning attempts as well as all other activities.
<         If this object is of value '255.255.255.255', it means
          there was no preference given for the primary DHCP 
          server, and, the MTA must follow the logic of RFC2131, and  
          the value of DHCP option 122 sub-option 2 must be 
          ignored."

Ok?
