I read the draft. It is pretty easy to read and straight forward.

I don't understand the underlying concerns. The motivation is not
included in the draft (I guess I'd have to go to the WG mailing list to
get that information)

Why should ICMP be limited?

Does ICMPv6 really need to be so limited if it is only used for on-link
communication using link-local addresses?
