It's important to relize though that a host doesn't invoke RFC 3736 procedures though. The host only cares that it wants to do an Information-Request. 3736 is an implementation hint for DHCPv6 servers and relays, not hosts.
Greg
RFC 3736 doesn't describe procedures or a distinct protocol, per se. It is intended to describe that part of the protocol that a server or a host must implement if all it intends to support is the Information-Request message exchange.
After reading this thread, I am leaning toward favoring the use of the message exchanges (or some defined shorthand) rather than "RFC 3315" and "RFC 3736" to describe the alternatives.
