i have a lab implementation of droms' draft, but i have not heard any
news of the draft's progression from ietf stockholm.

several unexpected workloads and resulting backlogs have kind of
interfered with my ability to track ietf work lately, so i wouldn't be
surprised if i missed some news.


anyway, if you control the clients, then you can use the ipv6 "VSIO"
options to send this information for the time being (my lab
implementation was creating an ISC VSIO option space for this purpose
until droms' draft surfaced...).
