#8: absent MAC address of default route?

 Currently draft-ietf-mif-dhcpv6-route-option-04 specifies the DHCPv6
 Server to communicate some route to the DHCPv6 Client.

 In the particular case of default route, the existing mechanism to
 achieve this is ND.  This has the optional feature to communicate the
 MAC address of the default router at the same time.  This saves on the
 number of messages exchanged (instead of 4 messages, only 2 are used).

 In the same manner, it would be useful to have DHCPv6 way of
 communicating the default route to add the MAC address of the IP address
 of the default router.  This would save on the number of messages
 exchanged.
