I'm okay with the new concept.

I think that the sentence lengths and punctuation could use some work.
I suggest:

    R-4
    To prevent routing loops, the relay SHOULD implement a configurable
    policy to drop potential looping packets received on any DHCP-PD client
    facing interfaces.
    The policy SHOULD^WMAY? be configurable on a per-client or per-destination basis.

    Looping packets are those with a destination address in a prefix
    delegated to a client connected to that interface, as follows:

         1) For point-to-point links (e.g., PPPoE), when the packet’s ingress and egress
            interfaces match.

         2) For multi-access links (e.g., ethernet), when the packet’s
            ingress and egress interface match, and the source MAC and next-hop MAC
            addresses match.

    An ICMPv6 Type 1, Code 6 (Destination Unreachable, reject route to destination) error message MAY
    e sent as per [RFC4443], section 3.1.  The ICMP policy SHOULD be configurable.
