[Pascal] The classical way is that the routing protocol operates between routers. ND provides the abstraction for a host to locate and interact with its router. This is why in the current WG doc, the registration also belongs to ND. Based on the registration, it is up to the router to redistribute the information in the route-over protocol, whether that is RPL or something else. If we lose the ND registration capability, we end up forcing every host attached to a RPL network to support RPL. Don't you feel that's wrong?
