Really, what we need is RA guard, DHCPv6 snooping and IPv6 neighbour 
inspection, just like we use DHCP snooping and DAI in the ipv4 world. 
These snooping protocols provide a 99% fix for operators' requirements.

SEND will never take off because it requires certificates.  I.e. it's too 
complicated for my mother to install on her DSL link.
