It is true that the potential for providing individualized endpoints for 
tracking purposes is an exposure.  In discussing 7710bis, we identified this as 
a risk of DHCP specifically.  IPv6 RAs by their nature generally don't have 
this problem, though I'm sure a network might be built in such a way as to add 
that capability.  Provisioning domains do.

In the new work we are likely to undertake, this is something we'll have to 
consider, but I don't see it as a huge issue: if you are deferring to another 
entity for discovery without prior expectations about what you will get, there 
are many ways to get into this sort of pickle.  That is, in the context of 
pre-existing DNS discovery, I don't believe that this creates a new exposure to 
this style of attack.
