Particularly since we've gone down that road before, and we know where  
it leads...   I'm tempted to throw in a comment here about "my way or  
the highway" but that would be rude.   But really, we have thought  
about this, and we decided as a group not to do it.   On a practical  
level, your choices are either to define a new site-local option, or  
to use stateless DHCPv6.   Stateless DHCPv6 works pretty well - I'm  
not sure why you're resisting using it.
