Normally, an auto-configured OSPFv3 CPE will not run OSPFv3 on the link toward

Excerpted From the OSPFv3 auto-configration draft:

 2.  OSPFv3 SHOULD be auto-configured on for IPv6 on all interfaces
      intended as general IPv6-capable routers.  Optionally, an
      interface MAY be excluded if it is clear that running OSPFv3 on
      the interface is not required.  For example, if manual
      configuration or an other condition indicates that an interface
      is connected to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), there is
      typically no need to employ OSPv3.  However, note that in many
      environments it can be useful to test whether an OSPFv3 adjacency
      can be established.  In home networking environments, an
      interface where no OSPFv3 neighbors are found but a DHCP prefix
      can be acquired may be considered as an ISP interface.

Ok, sounds good, sounds like it would do what I want.

PS. There is a typo approx halfway in, text says "OSPv3", not "OSPFv3".
