Re: [Geopriv] [geopriv] #38: Section 1

Bernard,

In addition to the text that was removed, some text from

draft-thomson-geopriv-3825bis was edited into Section 1:

"The options defined in this document have limited applicability for

mobile hosts. Typically DHCP clients refresh their configuration in

response to changes in interface state or pending lease expirations. As a
result, when a mobile host changes location without subsequently

completing another DHCP exchange, location configuration information

initially obtained via DHCP could become outdated."

[BA] By replacing the text on wireless usage with a statement of

applicability relating to mobile uses, the overall impression that
Section
1 leaves is a focus on wired uses.

[ML] After re-reading the above text, I wonder if it might be better
understood to re-word:

"The options defined in this document have limited applicability for

mobile hosts. Typically DHCP clients refresh their configuration in

response to changes in interface state or pending lease expirations. As a
result, when a mobile host changes location it MUST complete another DHCP
exchange to keep location current. Otherwise, the location configuration
information initially obtained via DHCP could become outdated."

Comments?
