This one is still valid, though:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-client-link-layer-addr-opt/

The difference is that in the new draft the link-layer address is not an option for clients, but just for relays. The idea is that servers located on the same link as the client may find the link-layer address in the L2 header.
