and further on in section 2:

is that correct? these are 16-bit length v4 options? the accompanying
picture looks like regular 8-bit lengths are intended.
The intent is 16 bits. How can I improve the diagram?

Oh crap, my eyes went right over that. It can't be two octets. There are no DHCPv4 options with two-octet length fields. Eliot, you have to fix this. Bear in mind that with the option concatenation standard (RFC3396), it's possible to express timezone info with more than 255 bytes, although in general we very much prefer to avoid info that's that large.
