Hi Fredrik,
yes you are right, Apples zeroconf initiative called Bonjour (
www.apple.com/bonjour).

DHCPv6.

But, what is the need for dhcpv6 if you have technologys like IPv6 SAC 
mechanism with (for example) MulticastDNS (
draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt) support.

IMHO at least 80% of standard (office) environments don`t need any dhcpv6 
support.
Let me know what you are think about it.
