I may be missing something and/or getting this out of context, but
it seems to me that DHCPv6 prefix delegation (RFC3633) will be one
of the more important features of IPv6 going forward.
Prefix delegation is a feature used by routers, not by hosts.
Indeed, but then there are routers that act as hosts too. I.e. a Mobile
Router acts as a host when auto-configuring an address on its egress
interface. And it would be _very_ interesting for the Mobile Router to
auto-configure not only an address for itself but obtain a whole prefix
to be used by nodes in its moving network.
