Ole I think this is perhaps 5-7 years too late possibly longer.  To be clear this has in fact been solved, PDRI was something we needed to address to launch IPv6 for DOCSIS based HSD many years ago.  Ralph (since you mention him) was there, he knows.

This is widely supported today across cable networks specifically for DOCSIS and even other fiber based (PON) access network implementations where we (Comcast) were involved in the development of IPv6 support.  Note we use the same implementation for our video services, which are IPv6 only.

Why in heavens name would you now go back and document something that has been done for so long? (rhetorical)

Please note a documentation exercise will not change any existing deployments, this ship has sailed.  This is not a wise use of IETF time and energy.  If this is the type of work the IETF believes requires attention perhaps it is time to start shutting down some of the IPv6 (6man/v6ops) WGs.

    Yes, it's quite unfortunate that we haven't solved the problem of robust route injection in PD yet.
    
    Ralph and I when writing 3633, concluded while there were many options, few of them were attractive, and instead resorted to specify that PD must operate without relays.
    
    Markus enumerated the options here:
    https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-stenberg-pd-route-maintenance-00.txt
    
    Let me know if you are interested in working on the problem.
    
    Best regards,
    Ole
