Thanks.  I'll update the PIO-X draft with the R bit, shift the
proposed X bit one to the right, and scan other documents for other
allocations of PIO flags...

As for a new ND option type for a new PIO-X type, I would rather not
do that.  That would completely negate the backward compatibility
benefit.

(And trying to support backward compatibility by transmitting the same
prefix in both PIO and PIO-X options in a single RA would seem to me
to be just needlessly inflating the size of the RA.)
