Fred, I have not found any information in the ND RFC's nor DHCPv6 RFC that say a node can initiate DHCPv6 if node doesn't receive any RA. I need to see explicit text in some document to accept what you said below.

That doesn't make much sense; if a node doesn't hear RAs, why wouldn't it try DHCPv6 before giving up?
