Is SLAAC+NDP, DHCPv6+NDP or DHCPv6-PD to be used for prefix allocation?

Or something else?

I am pretty sure Homenet is working on this.

Yes. Including running code, to my understanding**. HNCP (RFC7788) does prefix
allocation and assumes DHCPv6-PD for prefix distribution. (We also support
DHCPv6-PD in draft-ietf-anima-prefix-management, but that is ongoing work.)

But that is exactly my point when I say that IPv6 must be *really* ready the 
day when people will ask for it.

And when I say we should use the fact we do have some time to refine the 
specifications, implementations and deployment so that we are ready when CPEs 
start to really implement IPv6 in whatever way Homenet is specifying.

For homenets that need subnets, of course. I'm not panicking, however: when 
it's ready,
it will be used. There's no flag day.
