I disagree with the "host should use" part of this statement. We reached
a consensus on this point in previous discussion. The consensus is "the
M=1 flag indicates that the host MAY use the stateful protocol for
address autoconfiguration" -- i.e., that this protocol is available
should the host decide to use it.
