I don't think we need the subnet selection option anymore.   The DHCPv6 
server sends relay-reply messages to the IP source address from which it 
received the relay-forward message, so the relay-provided prefix doesn't 
have to even be a valid IP address, much less one of the relay agent's IP 
addresses.   It just has to represent a valid prefix on the link to which 
the client is attached, which is what the subnet selection option is.
