As a practical matter, I think that the ISC server is the only DHCP 
server that treats hardware_addr = 1:0:3:4:5:9:7 as not the same client 
identifier as uid = 1:0:3:4:5:9:7, when no client identifier option is 
present.   So I think you would be on firm ground if you tweaked the 
ISC server's lease allocation behavior to match this.   I have never 
heard of a problem report being submitted as a result of treating the 
hardware address as if it were a client identifier when no client 
identifier is present.
