A general comment: my freebox would indeed take advantage of this
proposal.  Currently the freebox relies on a grandma personnage to
manually configure, and 'delegate' /64s to routers on LAN, out of a /56
obtained on its DSL line.  She needs to add lines like this:

IPaddress-of-in-home-router  prefix interface

Were the freebox to implement a DHCPv6-PD server software, that work
would be much easier, it would be automated.

But, is there a wifi in-home access point, or some other such kind of
in-home router, that would run a DHCPv6-PD Client to request the
prefixes from a freebox?
