I was referring to multicast RAs for purposes of SLAAC. If you did

Its not only about stateful address configuration; unsolicited
RAs with incomplete information can be followed by an RS/RA
exchange where the RA contains prefixes for SLAAC.
But i guess that Dave's point is what happens if the initial RS is lost,
would the node retry with the RS after receiving the incomplete RADV in
order to get a valid prefix and manage to configure a gloabl address? (i
don't know what 2461 states about this...)
I mean, the question is if this approach of incomplete RADV is used,
could a node recover and stateless autoconfigure a global address if the
initial RS was lost?
Well, 2461 says there should be MAX_RTR_SOLICITATIONS RSs at
RTR_SOLICITATION_INTERVAL seconds interval. Could they _all_ be lost.
