The number of ways in which you can use Linux to violate published standards are probably near-infinite. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. While you are of course completely free to spend your time implementing NetworkManager support for some link-local-free IPv6-ish protocol, and to pursue IETF standardisation of this new protocol, I would find it sad to see development effort being wasted in such a way when there are no shortage of actually useful IPv6-related things to fix and/or implement in NM; IPv6 support on mobile broadband, IPv6 support in applicable VPN plugins, correct handling of RA lifetimes, and so on.
