I agree.

But there is no automatic way to get DNS resolver info in IPv6.

In all proposals to date, somewhere something needs to be configured, 
be it in a DHCPv6 (Lite) server, in a router sending the RAs, by setting 
up site local routing (though that seems dead :) or by Masataka's method 
(where the routing entry is configured).
