Personally I don't like the term DHCPv6 (in general adding v4/v6 to some
acronym). It sounds more like the 6th version of something. Since you
only talk about IPv6 DHCP in the document, I would much rather you say
that DHCP refers to DHCP for IPv6 like in RFC 3315.

To me, DHCPv6 is just a nickname.
