I support the tendency of the ideas in this draft.

It currently lacks a means to encode messages conforming to DHCPv6.  Is
there some initial thought about how shoudl the default route be
communicated in a DHCPv6 message?

When I look at rfc3315, should I dig consider more "IA Address Option"?
  Or more the "Relay Message Option"?  (presumably it's the Relay's
address on which the Solicit was received that should be the default route).

Or is this the wrong way to go.
