DHCPv6-PD is fine - especially for mobiles - so, please stop spreading FUD.
In OMNI in particular, we have two modes of prefix registration for mobiles:
1) Static configuration, 2) DHCPv6-PD - with both methods being driven by
RS/RA. We have used both methods for many years for prefixes lengths
in the /56 to /64 range, and I see no reason to get dragged into arguments
about longer lengths which is a completely different discussion.
