This draft uses a SHOULD to specify what data should be in the client identifier. This is in conflict with another draft that's in the process of working its way through to last call - draft-ietf-dhc-3315id-for-v4-??.txt. This is a bad thing - someone reading this spec will wonder which of the two specifications supersedes the other. I don't see any reason to specify the format of the client identifier in this draft - instead, refer the reader to draft-ietf-dhc-3315id-for-v4-??.txt and to RFC2132 for advice on how to format the client-identifier option. Also, you have a reference to RFC1542. This is superseded by RFC2132, so you should refer to RFC2132 instead - it is a huge mistake for someone to read RFC1542 as advice on how to implement a DHCP client, and so this draft shouldn't imply that the reader ought to look at RFC1542 - he or she oughtn't. Ralph, what's going on with draft-ietf-dhc-3315id-for-v4-??.txt? This is getting a little bit embarrassing... :'}
