Suppose we have a no-multicast bit, that tells a host to send traffic to
its default router when it doesn't have a neighbor in the NC cache.

It is not clear to me how the semantics would be different from clearing the
L-bit, but if you think there are considerable differences, why no write 
a draft that describes the use of such a bit.
