Your quote on your signature is interestingly appropriate
for this
discussion and applies to those that don't read the RFC
carefully:

Must have been someone else; sorry.

I think it doesn't change server behaviour.

You either use the supplied address as a hint, or you don't,
and
that's a separate debate.  You either support a client that
supplied
no addr (as rfc3315 says today), or you don't, and that's
also a
separate debate.

I've observed that all clients supply the IAADDR from the
advertise
in their request - and I think that a client that chooses
not to is
going to find themselves incompatible with servers that are
written
'to the wire'.

What the server does or doesn't do is immaterial.

Nope.  Not sure what this is about.
