Pekka, Actually, the lack of M or O bits is not as good a hint as their existence. If we wanted a _good_ hint about non-existence of DHCPv6 (for addresses or config information), we'd have to have different flag(s) like Yes, I'm aware of what DHCPv6 is, but we don't use it in this network.

Excellent points Thomas. 5. what if the M flag is set but the host does not get any DHCPv6 Advertise in the initial exchange? Is it okay to fall back to the RFC3736 subset? Or is it even okay to run both full RFC3315 and the RFC3736 subset concurrently from the beginning?
