The draft discusses battery lifetimes. In general battery operated devices
move between managed and unmanaged network. So what is the correct setting?

Is there a way to signal to a host that it is on a managed network in 
some secure way? If there is add a reference to such a protocol in the
draft and explcitly say that the host MUST NOT act upon the flag if it is
in an unmanaged environment. And then what, what does a mobile device do
on an unmanaged network? Probably device vendors will find ways to reduce
IPv4 traffic to a point where battery use is left in the noise.

Then assume a managed network. These networks have RA-guard and can most
likely filter IPv4 at the ethernet level. Is the remaining traffic worth
filtering?

So where do you need this draft and what impact does it have?
