I checked the draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-autoconfig-00. I think the proposal doesn't meet expectations of users, with regard of protocol convergence. The default timers are far too conservative. First reconfig on OSPF router in my hands is adjust timers on high speed interfaces to hello=1 and dead=4. This is a bit better than what old days bridges with STP do. Minor: the timers are not defaults. These are sample values. I have seen routers with different defaults than RFC 5340, for certain interface types.
For autoconfig OSPF, I prefer removal of the restriction that all routers on a link MUST use same timers. That provides flexibility like OLSR. If this is not possible because of reasons for DR selection, I suggest removal of DR completely and configure all interfaces in P2MP. Or MANET interface type, if we want to. Question is: which MANET extension.
