Comment:

Recommended resolution:

Delete the following Section 1 text:

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initially obtained via DHCP could become outdated.

Replace with:

The mechanism defined here may also be utilized to provide location
to wireless hosts. DHCP relay agent sub-options (RAIO) [RFC3046] is
one method a DHCP server might use to perform host location
determination. Currently, the relay agent sub-options do not include
data sets required for device level location determination of
wireless hosts. In cases where the DHC server uses RAIO for location
determination, a wireless host can use this mechanism to discover
location of the radio access point, or the area of coverage for the
radio access point.
