This reminds me, I don't think the IPv6 nodes requirements draft has yet gone final, since draft-ietf-ipv6-node-requirements-08 still exists on the IETF I-D area.
Should we not update this before it goes final with the wording that has been agreed for the M and O flags, and also to clarify the assertion below, that RAs are the way to get default router and onlink prefix information? It would be a shame to not convey this consensus in the nodes document. In the draft, that's at least section 4.5.2 and 4.5.5 that probably need a tweak.
