I think this is much better, and I would not object to the text as is
(modulo Ralph's suggestions). I would like to make a couple of
suggestions of my own for the middle two paragraphs that you should feel
free to ignore. :)

Going through this thread, here is some proposed text. I've concluded
that whether to require DHC and/or relay agents is much more nuances
than a simple SHOULD/MAY/MUST.
How about the following proposed wording:
12.3. Stateful Address Autoconfiguration (DHCPv6) - RFC 3315
A single DHCP server ([RFC3315] or[RFC4862]) can provide
configuration information to devices directly attached to a shared
link, as well as to devices located elsewhere within a site.
Communication between a client and a DHCP server located on different
links requires the use of DHCP relay agents on routers.
In simple deployments with a single router there is no need for a relay
agent. A DHCP server embedded within the router is a common deployment
scenario (e.g., [RFC6204]).
In more complex deployment scenarios, such as within enterprise or
service provider networks, use of DHCP may be more involved. For example
configuration of relay agents, multiple DHCP servers, etc. In such
environments the DHCP server might be run on a separate system, rather
than as part of a router.
