Hi Ralph,
The text looks really good, what do other thinks? Does anyone
have a preference for Stateful Address Autoconfiguration to be
a SHOULD or a MAY?
I tend to agree with the SHOULD. Since these nodes recognize the
'M' & 'O' bit-settings, they should be capable of acting on their
settings.

Does that follow? DHCP strikes me very much as a discretionary
thing. I think vendors will know when to support it, so a MAY
seems enough to me.
My concern is the scenario where an operator knowingly disables
prefix advertisements and enables DHCPv6. If the nodes doesn't
do DHCP, it is stuck with only the link-local address.
