For those IPv6 nodes that implement DHCP, those nodes MUST use DHCP
upon the receipt of a Router Advertisement with the 'M' flag set (see
section 5.5.3 of RFC2462). In addition, in the absence of a router,
IPv6 Nodes that implement DHCP MUST attempt to use DHCP.

Nodes that implement DHCP MUST use DHCP upon the receipt of a
Router Advertisement with the 'M' flag set (see section 5.5.3 of
RFC2462). In addition, in the absence of a router,
IPv6 Nodes that implement DHCP MUST attempt to use DHCP. In this
context, 'use DHCP' means trying to obtain both address(es) and
other configuration information through DHCP.
Please remind me why the "in the absence of a router" text is there. I am
having a hard time thinking about a scenario where there would be a DHCP
server, but no router. The presences of a DHCP relay agent would also need
a router to be useful.
