Would the following be a fair summary of the scenarios being talked

1. No RAs, link local only addressing, Zeroconf techniques/ Multicast DNS 
2. RAs, ll + RA announced prefixes, RA announced DNS server(s)

3. RAs, ll + RA announced prefixes, RA announced DNS server(s), DHCP
for any other node configuration options
4. RAs, ll + RA announced prefixes, DHCP announced DNS server(s) + other node 
configuration options.

I think scenario 3 is bad.  I see no good reason for RA with both O=1  
and DNS server options.  I'd be perfectly okay with requirement  
language that says DNS server options in RA must be not be sent, and  
must be ignored if received, when O=1.
