Following Eric Vyncke's mail, if you got interested by 
that draft, you may find this draft interesting too:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yourtchenko-colitti-nd-reduce-multicast-00

discusses some practical measures that can be taken "as is" to make IPv6 
and WiFi better friends.

<background>

If someone happened to be at this year's FOSDEM or my employer's 
conference, CiscoLive, the WiFi networks there ran most of the things 
specified in section 4.

(for some background info, here's some stats from the ciscolive network:
http://2014.ciscolive-ipv6.com/munin/ipv6noc/ipv6noc/index.html; FOSDEM 
was about the same ballpark number of hosts).
