Our concern is mostly related to routing (may need routing table
insertion/deletion upon prefix allocation, depending on the addressing
architecture).

At the same time I agree other aspects than just routing need to be
considered at Relay during the Prefix Delegation operation.

In that sense I am interested if new draft gets started.

Would need to check how SAVI relates to the dynamically allocated prefix.

Further, I wonder (1) what the security considerations section would
contain and (2) which platform vendor has equipment supporting Prefix
Delegation.
