Re: [Geopriv] "DHC" options

The WG isn't called the "DHCP WG", it's called the DHC WG. Way back
in 2004 - when I was writing the original ID that became RFC 3825, I
was asked to refer to anything DHC without the P by the DHC WG
(within the original draft). I didn't question that, given they know
more about their protocol than I do, and I suspect more than anyone
within Geopriv does... but I could be wrong. I carried that
philosophy forward in the dhcp-lbyr-uri-option ID.
