RE: New (-02) version of IPv6 CPE Router draft is available for review

No.  See my earlier email to you that said when the CPE Router is
embedded in, say, a cable modem, then the WAN interface of the CPE
Router becomes an internal logical interface (as opposed to a physically
available port in a standalone CPE Router).  The logical interface
bridges to the cable modem.  The cable modem is definitely managed by
the ISP and it is this modem's software that can automatically configure
the LAN interface(s) of the CPE Router.  Cable standards have specified
this automatic configuration by the modem.  The CPE Router when embedded
in a cable modem has to comply to Cable standards. 

When the WAN interface is internal to the modem there is no question of
useable or not.  The interface is not even visible to the user.

There are some false assumptions there - unless you are making these
required conditions.  Combination with a modem does not imply the device
is managed by the SP, nor can you assume the WAN connection is actually
useable at power-up.
