I hope I'm not going to look silly because I've missed it, however, do
these CPE (as they are routers) issue RAs on their WAN interface? I'd
think a statement relating to whether they do or don't, and if they do,
what options MUST/MUST NOT etc. are permitted should be covered in the
WAN interface section.

(as a side note, a possible use for these CPE issuing RAs is to
announce support of optional capabilities - I'm thinking about the idea
of prefix-redirects for more optimal inter-CPE traffic flow, and a
prefix-redirect capability announcement to the upstream provider
routers in the CPE's WAN RAs would allow the provider routers to know
not to send prefix-redirects to CPE that don't support that capability)
