The "age" is conflicts with the the Home Agent (H) flag
(in <draft-ietf-mobileip-ipv6-24.txt>) 
and with the Default Router Preference (prf) flag
(in <draft-ietf-ipv6-router-selection-03.txt>).

The flags is extremely expensive resource and
it is actually running out. 
Allocating another "RA option" is better.

Thanks.
