Jinmei-san,

>>> 3. Section 10.2 contains the following sentence (newly added in the

>>> 
>>> If the delegating router cannot delegate any prefixes to an IA_PD in
>>> the message from the requesting router, the delegating router MUST
>>> include the IA_PD in the Reply message with no prefixes in the IA_PD
>>> and a Status Code option in the IA_PD containing status code
>>> NoPrefixAvail.
>>> 
>>> I guess the "Reply" should be "Advertisement" here, because this
>>> section is talking about "Delegating Router Solicitation."  I also
