Dan, your understanding that SOL_MAX_RT and INF_MAX_RT are allowed to have 
independent values is correct.  The document originally addressed SOL_MAX_RT 
and I missed  the text you cite when I updated the doc to include INF_MAX_RT.  
I'll make your suggested changes in the next rev of the doc.

In my opinion, this document falls under the following clause of the dhc WG 
charter:

   However, the DHC WG can in some cases develop its own options that 
relate to either maintenance of existing specifications or 
   improvements in the operation of the DHCP infrastructure itself.

Regarding the charter more generally, the WG is currently in the process of 
rechartering.

Tomek and Bernie can add detail or correct me...

Thanks for catching that typo.
