Do you mean:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-router-selection-02.txt

This has nothing to do with this subject (AFAICS), but one person just a 
couple of days ago asked about this and wanted to know whether anyone else 
is hacking this, and if not, whether he should go ahead.  We gave (as 
radvd maintainers) a thumbs-up.

If you're also interested in hacking this, contact me off-list, and I'll 
ask the other person whether he'd like to get some help..

(Obviously, the preferences will need support in the kernel too.)
