About the only hack I can see that *might* make sense would be that home CPE does NOT honour the upstream lifetimes if upstream connectivity is lost, but instead keeps the prefix alive on very short lifetimes until upstream connectivity returns.
Yep, that's the hack I was getting at. As a non-technical end-user, once my CPE has got a prefix from my ISP and advertised it to the devices on my LAN, the same prefix should keep working until: -my ISP assigns a different one -the end of time whichever comes first :) Having my PC not be able to talk to my printer any more because my DSL / cable / wimax / whatever has been down for "too long" is not acceptable.
