Alper,

I have one comment. This document describes the options for discovering the PAA
through DHCP. But it is not obvious why the client is doing DHCP in the first 
place.
If you read the PANA protocol document, this is what i find :

- In introduction, there is a reference to IP address configuration component
- In section 4.3, there is a reference to this draft but it does not still tell 
why the client
  is doing DHCP 
- In Appendix A, the IP address configuration talks about DHCP but does not have
  a reference to this document.
- There is already DHCP option for configuring POPA in pana protocol document

This document should contain text about when the client does DHCP and for what,
so that people get some context. Otherwise, it can be confusing..

Otherwise, the document looks good.
