You mean that we could change the ND status to 6-bits in the 6lo WG?
(I would have parsed ND status as being someing 6man takes care of)

If we can map or redefine (to have a single IANA registry) things, then i
prefer that over a new option.

It seems that we need to decide this as part of architecting the RUL, right?
