I like the fact that this work is being done. It seems to me the current 
standards leave too much room for interpretation.

I would like to see the following deployment scenarios being possible, and 
all hosts should support them.

1. No Prefix information, M=1, Host gets /128 IPv6 address for own use and 
a default route (RA), possibly other information. All traffic to other 
hosts that is not LL goes via router.

2. PIO /64, A=0, M=1, host gets /128 out of on-link /64, can communicate 
with other hosts on-link directly.

3. PIO /64, A=1, M=1. Host gets /128 from DHCP plus can do SLAAC, 
otherwise same as above.

4. PIO /64, A=1, M=1. Host gets /128 from outside /64 via DHCP, plus can 
do SLAAC within the /64.

Also it's quite worrying about the state changes when A/M/O changes. I 
believe that it might be time to re-rev our standards documents to specify 
exactly what should happen for each case.
