No, there are not really two versions of DHCPv6 - all of the various message
exchanges and modes of operation are defined in RFC 3315.
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-stateless-02.txt is an aid to the implementation of
DHCP that provides other configuration information but not address assignment.

It might clarify the text a little to refer to "a node that uses DHCP for
address assignment" and "a node that uses DHCP to obtain other configuration
information"; I think references to "stateless DHCPv6" are confusing.

Also, there are basically two versions of "DHCP": the one specified in
RFC3315, and the "stateless DHCP", in IESG review at the moment.  It
is not clear to which you're referring to here.
