A similar dimension includes the impact to the IPv6 standard, ie is the 
behavior permitted, allowed but discouraged, or in violation. 

Protecting yourself and other devices might not be valid if you break the 
protocol. Just because a router can’t do something isn’t a reason to say it’s 
ok not to.
