I strongly suggest the use of "Nodes" (unqualified) in the text about the 'O' bit:
IPv6 Nodes that implement DHCP, MUST use DHCP upon the receipt of a Router Advertisement with the 'O' flag set (see section 5.5.3 of RFC2462).
There is no reason a router can't use DHCPv6 for other configuration information.
However, there is some question about any discussion of "nodes" and RAs, as there may be text in RFC 2461 (I'm working from memory, here, which in my case is a remarkably unreliable service; I hope someone more familiar with RFC 2461 can confirm or deny) that allows or requires routers to ignore RAs.

=> In general, unless previously discussed and rejected for some reason, I'd globally: s/Nodes (acting as hosts)/host
It's a bit clumsy to read as it is.
