Hi Ted, 
I've been on vacation. I guess I see this as a case of the tail wagging the dog with the BNG getting routing aggregation policy from the DHCPv6 server. However, I'm certainly not going to let my opinion as a routing chair and developer of a leading BNG platform hold up the will of an entire working group. The "Security  Considerations" section does need to be beefed up as this does increase the exposure - just imagine a subverted DHCPv6 responding with 0::/0.
Thanks,
Acee

Does this mean that we've satisfactorily addressed the use case question that Acee raised, and that no-one else objects, or does it mean that everybody is taking a well-deserved break from IETF email following the Vancouver meeting?
