I have already answered this question, more than once:

  Discussion of new protocol extensions (such as your draft) will be in
  scope (for some WG, probably not DNSOP) if and only if the
  requirements discussion concludes that there's a gap between real
  requirements and existing protocols.

Serious question, not intended as sarcasm: is there some part of the
previous sentence which you do not understand?

DHCPv6-lite is a subset of DHCPv6; therefore, by definition, if one
has DHCPv6, one also has DHCPv6-lite, and a DHCPv6-lite client doesn't
care whether the server(s) that answer it are DHCPv6 or DHCPv6-lite.
