I was thinking of something along the lines of:...joining and leaving the solicited-node multicast group SHOULD be done using MLD v1 [MLD] or v2 {RFC3810]. Section 8 of [RFC3810] explains how nodes using MLDv1 and MLDv2 can coexist on a link.
Two things with this suggestion. First, the above text may be seen as a Normative reference to RFC 3810. That won't work for 2461bis given that3810 is PS. The second issue is that I still don't see the benefit of adding operational guidelines for MLD in this spec. I agree with Hesham that it
belongs somewhere and that somewhere is section 8 of RFC 3810. If someone recognizes that they are mixing MLD versions, then I would hope/expect that they are aware of the guidelines in 3810 already before they get to any issues in 2461bis. To me, it would be similar to having text providing hints on interoperability between DHCPv6 and DHCPv6-lite (as an example). Regards, Brian
