You do, Peter; it was added to RFC 6775 update per our discussion. My leaf draft at ROLL just says that leaves set the bit and routers do not. But the definition of the bit moved to 6lo to make it generic.
All drafts are published and aligned to that, including: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6lo-backbone-router-06 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6lo-rfc6775-update-14 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thubert-roll-unaware-leaves-03 We can still change it but that direction seems to be making the most sense.
