I agree. DNA scheme would be better not to rely too much on L2 hints. 
As far as I know, MD/DAN can't be done with only L2 information. 
It's just a hint not a confirmation. 

But it's very useful for a node to receive  a L2 hint, for example 'Link up' 
hint, a notification that a new link has been set up.
