I think it's a fine solution as far as it goes and a good part of a complete solution. However, documenting that a host which sees no RA should attempt DHCPv6 would also be a good thing, IMHO. As it currently stands, some hosts which are DHCPv6 capable will not attempt to query DHCP until they receive an RA with the M bit set.
If we go down this path, how long before we hear screaming about rogue DHCPv6 servers giving v4-only networks a false v6 path? (At least that could be nullified by adding actual v6 support and an RA without the M bit.) Jima
