Either omitted or Success.

The result of which would be that the client would downgrade the
lifetimes on the address(es) to zero, immediately expiring them.

If the server also included extra addresses in the Renew, the client
would continue on the new addresses.

If the server did not include any non-zero lifetime addresses, the
client could return to Solicit or Request (there's no telling which).
