OK. Sounds like a great idea. I will include this in the next revision

I was assuming that the host will follow 4861 behavior if nothing is 
specified in the document. Would you like a strong recommendation in the 
draft for this. I was just going to mention that DAD may not be 
necessary if the host was detached from the link for a short period of 
time (with no differentiation between addresses obtained using DHCPv6 or 
SLAAC). Do you have issues with such text?

Thanks
Suresh
