Section 5.5.3 of RFC2462 states "should", not "MUST". You're changing what the RFC says - is this change going to be made in RFC2462-bis? Could you clarify? > In addition, in the > absence of a router, hosts that implement DHCP MUST attempt to use > DHCP. In this context, 'use DHCP' means trying to obtain only other > configuration information through DHCP, not address(es). In section 5.5.2 of RFC2462 it says "addresses and other configuration information", not just other configuration information. So the same consistency question applies.
