On a related note, I've heard that some operators intend to deploy

they imagine the "on-link flag" to be propagated in that scenario.
The "on-link flag" seems to be clearly in the domain of router
function,
not dynamic node configuration. Is that to be described in the
forthcoming Internet draft?
In an aggregation router network, all host behind broadband modems are
always off-link as we have explained in this mailer - see one of my
emails.
So there is NO NEED to propagate any on-link flag is such a network.
I suppose accepting the consequences of not being able to propagate
the "on-link flag" is one way to handle the problem. I hope section
2.1 of the ND Implementation Pitfalls draft will be reviewed
carefully by everyone participating in the discussions about prefix
length determination in DHCP6.
