The RA consistency checks are best effort in any case, thus this text is 
merely saying that when a router is receiving an RA on an advertising 
interface it should do what is in RFC4862 plus compare one additional 
thing. But I can note this in the document.
Note that most deployments will presumably need to send periodic RAs 
just in case to support unmodified hosts that do not implement resilient RS.
