Francis,
Are you also proposing that cellular-type protocols, such as 802.16 should
disable their power saving narrowband signaling channels and be forced to
work like 802.11?

Will you please clarify this?
=> is it not clear enough? The problem is a link one so the solution
should be found in link device, not by changing IPv6.
If the network layer is sending some packets to the MN, how can the
link layer adapts in this case. The link layer either can drop/delay the
packets but purpose of sending an RAs to the hosts is lost.
=> IMHO the best idea to solve this class of issues is in
draft-ietf-dna-frd-01.txt (i.e., cache the last RA in the AP).
The draft aims to reduce the dependency on the periodic RAs for the
mobile nodes, and hence the benifits of power and bandwidth saving.
=> this is a problem of the link dormant mode facility so it should
*not* be solved by changing the network protocol.
