This sentence is almost the same with original sentence in RFC4862, including the word "specify". The object of "specify" is a "should", rather than "MUST". So, router is not determined the address configuration model. Router gives advices. This description is compatible with your understanding, I believe. 

[Bing] That is what I mean. Thanks.
