3.5: should a receiving machine verify that the packet was sent with 
the link-level broadcast or multicast flag?  Should the source address 
be one that's legal on that wire?  Why TTL=1 instead of TTL=255?

The Security Considerations section seems to say "maybe we'll do 
security some day".  At the very least, it should make mention of the 
SEND effort for IPvy6.
