Just a refresh of my opinion on this (so that people don't forget):

  Sending MLD reports on link local multicast groups is silly, and
  SHOULD NOT be required.

It is not nice to require modifications and warts to perfectly working
RFC due to layer breaking entities like MLD-snooping
switches. Especially, when exactly the same information would be
available to them from the DAD NS. Join for "solicited node multicast
group" has exactly the same information as DAD NS.
