Good catch!

In the older versions it was mandatory to always specify all five
parameters (name, code, space, csv-format and data). It was improved in
1.0.0, but apparently we missed the case of empty option.

csv-format should not be necessary in cases like this. I submitted a
ticket for this: http://kea.isc.org/ticket/4291

I just checked that with the csv-format specified, Kea is able to
respond with option 43 that contains 2 sub-options. My wireshark version
is not able to parse nested options in the option 43, but parsing it
manually it seems valid. The config file I used is attached to the
ticket, if you need it.
