See below for an updated draft titled: "IPv6 Prefix Delegation for Hosts" that documents 
a concept that was discussed on the list earlier this year. Whereas RFC7084 is about routers
that act a little bit like a host, this document is about hosts that act a little bit like a router.
The host can receive a DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD), and assign addresses taken from
the prefix to the same interface over which the PD was received. In this way, the host
looks like a requesting router from the standpoint of DHCPv6 PD, but acts like a simple
host under the strong end system model from the standpoint of its hosted applications.

Please review and comment on the list. Please refer to list archives in the January 2016
timeframe for more context.

Thanks - Fred

        Title           : IPv6 Prefix Delegation for Hosts

Abstract:
   IPv6 prefixes are typically delegated to requesting routers which
   then use them to number their downstream-attached links and networks.
   The requesting router then acts as a router between the downstream-
   attached hosts and the upstream provider network, and can also act as
   a host under the weak end system model.  This document considers the
   case when the "requesting router" is actually a simple host, and
   receives a delegated prefix that it can use for multi-addressing
   purposes.  The host does not connect any downstream-attached
   networks, and uses the prefix solely for its own multi-addressing
   purposes.
