While there is a CableLabs spec that argues for stacked DHCPv6-PD (and it was
presented in Homenet a few years back), to date, I'm aware of no deployed
home routers that operate a DHCPv6-PD server on their southbound interface.

Conceptually it's simple to implement.
Architecturally there are some who thinks it is gross, and some who think
it's brilliant.   I'm still sitting on the fence myself.

But, fundamentally, the issue Ted is trying to address is enabling
communications within the Home between layer-2s that can not, or should not,
be bridged.

I agree with your other suggestions for re-organization.
I have some ideas about how I would write this document.
