In section 3.6[1], there is specific mention of the dns entries being zero-terminated in Table 2. While not part of the options[2] section, it could lead one to believe that other strings should be zero-terminated as well. Should the mention of the dns entries being zero-terminated be changed as well? And although the strings are counted, should that necessarily mean that strings shouldn't be null-terminated, or only that they need not be null-terminated?
