No, I hadn't; thanks for mentioning it.  I haven't started looking yet
at the outstanding RFEs.  (Right now, I'm looking at the detailed
design.)

Yes, it seems reasonable to include that, and I'll look into it.

The RFC recommends making the system default to having the same
binding association (client ID) for v4 and v6.  I'm not so sure that's
wise, as it means that we'll not only break existing configurations,
but also existing DHCP server configuration tools.

I think that compatibility will be the sticking point here.  The rest
of it looks fairly straightforward.

(Looks like Bill missed author's last call on his name ...  :-/)
