But it still leaves out the -i link0 for a delete-dhcp. Given that we

Ok, we can do that.
What is the name space for that name? By that I mean whether or not I can do
ipadm create-dhcp4 -i link0 default
ipadm create-dhcp6 -i link0 default
or whether that tells me the object called "default" already exists.
If you specified it as above, then "default" would be considered the label.
A label must be specified at all times.
That doesn't answer my question whether the create-dhcp6 above would fail.
In the current world-order, this would be
ipadm create-ipv6addrs -i link0 default
and it would be ok because the label would be local to the interface
and IP-version. (i.e, the *-v6addrs and *-dhcp have distinct namespaces)
Well, can't we just return "object called 'default' already exists".
That way *address object* names are truly unique to the interface. In
other words the namespace is specific to that interface.
Further if we don't return 'error' above, then to disambiguate the name
"default" in ipadm set-addrprop, we should start accepting '-f' option.
