1) I agree that we are extending, not updating.
   It feels weird to update a document that is in the same cluster :-)

2) The text says:

   [EFFICIENT-NPDAO] defines the DCO for RPL Storing Mode only, with a
   link-local scope.  This specification extends its use to the Non-
   Storing MOP, whereby the DCO is sent unicast by the Root directly to
   the RAN that injected the DAO message for the considered target.

If an RPL aware node supports RUL, then it has to support DCOs
even when operating in a Non-Storing MOP.

The document does NOT say that a node with RUL support has to support
Non-Storing MOPs.
