        there was a big discussion in the recent IETF meeting (don't remember
        which one) and the consensus was to drop "you can omit DAD for
        addresses with same IID" part from the DAD, IIRC (need to check
        minutes).  if my memory is corret, my guess is that the node
        requirement is more up-to-date on this issue.
