[Ballot comment]
This is a "subscriber ID" used for roaming between access points, apparantly sent in the clear. It seems to me that there should be some mention in the security considerations section that if this value is snooped, it could be used to aid in hijacking service of the subscriber.

No further objection, but I agree with Mark, this one needs highlighted security
comments - not just the usual pointer to the weak security of DHCP.

I think DHCP needs an a document like DNS's RFC 3833, which
might stimulate some action towards work about DHCP spoof prevention
which is not otherwise happening.

Again I wonder how this document (targeted at standards track)
helps STANDARDIZE anything.

- the semantic information in the subscriber-ID string is vendor specicic
  (without even a way to indicate which vendor it is coming from)??
- a relay agent MAY insert such a subscriebr-ID
- a server MAY do something or nothing.

And besides that, to make a subscriber-ID NVT ASCII seems very USA centric

I agree with Brian that [4] is probably normative, as it is a normative reference in RFC3993, which
is noted as a source document in the Acknowledgements.  This seems like something that can
be fixed in AUTH48, though.
