Extensive MIB Doctor comments have been posted to the DHC WG mailing list.
These need to be addressed or answered first.

I think there's a size mismatch between the display-hint and the size:

        Dhcpv4PhysicalAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION 
           DISPLAY-HINT   "1d,1d,1x:1x:1x:1x:1x:1x" 
           SYNTAX         OCTET STRING (SIZE(18)) 

Is this supposed to be 8, or 8..18, or something else?

dhcpv4ServerClientPhysicalAddress is a Dhcpv4PhysicalAddress, but says "This object MAY be empty if the address has not been previously served."  The SYNTAX of Dhcpv4PhysicalAddress does not permit it to be empty; should the size be 0|8 or 0|8..18 or something else?

In the DESCRIPTION of dhcpv4ServerSystemObjectID, it uses a sample enterprise ID of 4242, which is assigned to the Clorox Company.  I don't know if this is significant.

  However, this document is on the agenda for Standards-Track.

  I am also picking up Steve Bellovin's DISCUSS comment.  Steve said:
  Dhcpv4ServerClientEntry strikes me as very sensitive, especially from
  a privacy perspective.

Section 5 might need to be removed/replaced now that the new BCP 79 IPR stuff has recently been published.

Looks like the DHC/bootp content was carefully reviewed.  It's a good thing that none of the objects are writeable.  One editorial comment, under the object dhcpv4ClientServerAllowedProtocol, this phrase:

A type of bootp-or-dhcp (4) can be 
              offered to any type of client.

makes the object sound like a client-notifying object.  It should be re-written so it has parallel structure to 1, 2, and 3.
