In your previous mail you wrote:
If a link was partitioned when two hosts did DAD, and the network heals
up, what happens? Is there any way to recover from the situation?
Are the both nodes screwed until either interface is brought up and down,
enabling DAD?
=> the situation is not so simple because a common case (in wireless networks)
is partial connectivity (and of course this can be highly dynamic).

PS: as I have said yesterday I believe that DID (ie. your proposal)
is both better (ie. catch more cases) and simpler than current DAD.
But DAD is a DS so it will be hard to change/improve it...
PPS: in the real word DID/DAD will detect only mistakes in manual
router configurations (this is what the past has shown, of course
we don't (yet :-) know the future and privacy stuff can change this).
