First, draft comments..

Section 2 - why clients SHOULD send the ORO for this at all? Perhaps it is MAY, 
just server responding with one.  Why use WAN _or_ unique LAN interface 
address? Inconsistency is not a plus. Also, it is not obvious to me what to do 
if  it has one LAN interface but multiple addresses..

Then, non-draft comments ..

I am not sure evil bit (that ISP must obviously be nice enough to set, i.e. 
cer_id ::) is really what I would trust my firewalling decisions on. In 
Cablelabs context this is especially puzzling, as you have ISP-facing holes 
(with weird antenna-style bits in them), and home facing holes (RJ45 or 
wireless). Why is this autodetection needed at all there? Or is it just so ISP 
_can_ turn off the firewall if they want to, or government wants to force them 
to do so?

Cheers,

-Markus
