While this is simple in traditional LANs I'm worried about the consequences in networks like Bluetooth scatternets where devices in power saving modes will have to be waked up. I also imagine there easily will be partitions in such networks, and that DAD therefore will provide little assurance. Instead address uniqueness could be assured from EUIs.
