The draft talks vaguely about IPSEC, which immediately sets off my wishful
thinking alarm bells and reminds me of 1990s security considerations
sections. More specifically, how is the client supposed to set up a
security association with the DHCP server when it doesn't have an IP
address? This is supposed to help with bootstrapping, right? How can the
client bootstrap its trust in the DHCP server in a way that is less likely
to expire than the root trust anchor?
