This seems attractive, but what happens when a host that doesn't support WKA or RA turns up on a network that is using RA (and not WKA or DHCPv6(lite)) for DNS configuration? Of course there are other permutations that b0rk as well. What you seem to be saying is, let's implement all three methods on hosts, and then it won't matter what the network actually supports?
