I'll preface all this my saying that I think the M and O flags as generally implemented and used are pretty much useless. The best thing to do with them would be to deprecate them altogether.

I know of one vendor device (I'm trying to get them to change) who in presence of telling the router to advertise the M-flag, automatically removes the A flag and prefix from its outgoing RAs. I do not agree with their interpretation of the standard (that in the presence of M flag, clients must not do SLAAC).
