I don't know the answer, but my guess is that when the original MLD
was designed in RFC 2710 they simply didn't have that question.  In
fact, we were not aware of various implications with MLD messages for
solicited-node multicast addresses for quite some time, which made us
include some specific discussion on this topic in RFC 4862 (Section
5.4.2).
