>+1. and I would also expect address resolution to work on this link.
>(I don't quite understand how the off-link model would apply in this
case. on a router to router link, neither end would do router discovery
and there wouldn't be any default router to send a packet to.)

One manually configures a /127 and default gateway on each of the two
directly connected routers. Then when any of the two routers have to
send a packet, the ND off-link model is used to send data to the default
router/gateway.  Also, I know SPs are not crazy about using the ND RA in
such a backbone link, but another way is to have each router send an RA
to the other router where RA is advertised with no PIO - the IPv6 /127
address is still provisioned manually, but now the default router is
learnt from the RA.
