Brian,

Thank you very much for your review. I submitted revised version (-06, not -05, sorry for unfixed nits).

I added some text on network level protection case in addition to use of DHCPv6 security, including filter on the border router in a ROLL network.

Thanks. I used your text with 'server and client implementations.'

No. I think making secure network properly to use DHCPv6 option is just a generic requirement and it's beyond the scope of this document.
