Antonio,
Regardless of whether the ISP bridges the NBMA links or not, the CPE router
will not propagate the ND or NS messages onto these links. The Ethernet and
Wi-Fi BMA LAN segments are separate logical links from each other and the ISP
link(s). How will the CPE router be "convinced" to bridge these link-local
scoped messages off link?

I think in the latter, if the ISP decides to silo the individual NBMA
links then they need to adjust for that in how they do the sub-delegation
which is I think what the issue is. But if the ISP actually bridges the
separate NBMA links, then there's no silo issue and the CPE can pretend
they're in 'a'.
