        NS/NA exchange over no-link-layer-address L2 is, yes, possible.
        but i guess it require a lot of changes into RFC2461, and i fear it
        is too much to ask at this stage.  for example, i guess we would
        need a lot of changes into wording about neighbor cache table.

        another thing that bothers me is, if we have a device that tries
        NS/NA on one end, and a device that does not on another, they won't
        be able to talk to each other.  we saw this with "NUD over no-link-
        layer-address L2" already.

        it it was 3 years ago, i guess i was okay with requiring NS/NA.
