I don't see how that text is different from the text that's already in
the draft, except it actually provides clear guidance. Why not use it?

The above text (or any similar text already in the I-D) suggests that
this document should be updating RFC4862. Because it is not only
specifying that to do when you do DHCPv6, but also whether to do
SLAAC/DHCPv6 in the fist place.


I don't see why. I don't recall a statement in RFC 4862 specifying whether
