Certainly.  RFC 6775 was designed to be applicable to both mesh-under and route-over routing.

E.g., it starts out saying:

> 1.3.  Goals and Assumptions
> 
>    The document has the following main goals and assumptions.
> 
>    Goals:
> 
>    o  Optimize Neighbor Discovery with a mechanism that is minimal yet
>       sufficient for the operation in both mesh-under and route-over
>       configurations.
> […]


Now, if there is something amiss about the mesh-under support in RFC 6775, that would be good to know.
