What is the reasoning behind the following? Why not just FORMERR the request when the option length is not zero? How hard do we think writing a client is that they will get sending a zero length option wrong? What is wrong with sending back an immediate error signal? There is a thing of being too over permissive which is why we have so many issues with the DNS today.
