A point of draft-richardson-6man-cpe-provisioning-00 (expired, rather immature),
was to allow the downstream device to declare what they were, and how they
wanted to get addresses.   I was imagining an IP6CP option that would simply
advise what the downstream is, and what the upstream could support.
This avoids assigning a /64 (and running RA) to the link if it makes no sense.
