There's no specification requiring or recommending either of these 
approaches, either for v6 or v4 AFAICS so you can't depend on that 
behaviour..
Do you have specific data to back up "every other router vendor..." ? 
I doubt it's quite as uniform as that, but if so, it would certainly 
be a major motivation for a change.
