Yesish.
My intent is that this is not something that is selected, but rather
something that is easily calculated in a RPL network from the DIO.

As I understand the desire, there is a desire to balance between different
PANs, and to do some of this via RPL values.  So, the rank priority would
influence which network to join.  Parent selection would occur afterwards
as normal.

That's about a node operating as a leaf (a host), rather than as a router.

    > I *think* you mean to say “…many unicast RAs may be sent in response.”

I'm not sure what belongs here.
I was going to say, many->MAY, but I think the whole paragraph needs
adjustments.
