Hi Romain!

I don't think that violating RFC is a "smarter" way. There are only two cases are stated - either we can handle unicast packets before the interface is configured or we accept broadcast to do the work. And..... what will happen with your scenario if you already have _another_ ip than one offered by the DHCP server? ;-)
