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.
Which is exactly what was being proposed when Tim responded that it would break the IPv6 spec.
Yes it does. But as long as there is no upstream connectivity, it doesn't matter. Personally I don't think it makes a *lot* of sense, but it does make some.
