No one is claiming interoperability.  We are suggesting that there are
implementations that use the bits and they need to be given the
opportunity to do interoperability testing.

Of interest is the IESG web page on interoperability for 2462/2461:
http://www.ietf.org/IESG/Implementations/nd-auto-implementations.txt

Please note that the report does not get down to the granularity of
bits in messages.  It concentrates on the behavior of each message
(i.e. RA, RS, NA, NS).
