I think this should be a MUST, or at least a SHOULD, as the simple CPE
draft relies on this capability to support routing between internal
subnets if the WAN link is down -

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-09

   G-5:  By default if the IPv6 CE router is an advertising router and
         loses its IPv6 default router(s) on the WAN interface, it MUST
         explicitly invalidate itself as an IPv6 default router on each
         of its advertising interfaces by immediately transmitting one
         or more Router Advertisement messages with the "Router
         Lifetime" field set to zero [RFC4861].

and

   L-3:   An IPv6 CE router MUST advertise itself as a router for the
          delegated prefix(es) (and ULA prefix if configured to provide
          ULA addressing) using the "Route Information Option" specified
          in section 2.3 of [RFC4191].  This advertisement is
          independent of having IPv6 connectivity on the WAN interface
          or not.

Regards,
Mark.
