I wanted to add that the sending node has no way of knowing if it is
in situation 5.9 or situation 5.10, so absent some signaling that there are
no non-RPL aware nodes in the DAG, then sending nodes must assume that the
receiver is not-RPI aware.

An additional possible protocol action might be to signal in the DIOs that
that the RPL network is entirely RPL-aware.  This would/could get negated by
DAOs having a bit so indicate if each target address is RPI aware (i.e. if it
was learned from ND or via DAO).
