I basically agree. IMO, this kind of thing is implementation
dependent, and can be out of scope of a specification document.
Regarding our own implementation (KAME/BSD), it joins the
solicited-node multicast group corresponding to a link-local unicast
address within the kernel; it doesn't need a separate system call
(IPV6_JOIN_GROUP) to join the group in this particular case. So, I
believe it's not so difficult to implement the procedure I showed in
my previous message at least on one OS that I know of.
We could add a note in rfc2462bis that in some OSes it may not be
effective to separate the join process and the listen process, though
I personally think it's overkilling in this document.
