Fair enough, Bob; here is the assertion I made that I was referring to:

+ BTW, I am still waiting to hear how this concern is in any way specific to prefix
+ delegation, since it seems to be generic to any case of having a “stub” router
+ that maliciously attacks its own upstream link – no matter how that router
+ negotiates its prefixes with upstream network nodes.

Do the individuals CC'd on this list agree that this is a generic IPv6 issue and not
a DHCPv6-PD-specific issue?

Thanks - Fred
