In the para 
  The assignment of new RA flags in the RA option header and for the
   bits defined in the RA extension option defined in this document
   require standards action or IESG approval.

I think it would be good to reference RFC 2434.

  Based on Gen-ART Review by Joel Halpern:

  The document says that the length of the option is 1.  This is in
  multiples of 8 octets, so there is lots of room.  However, the text
  explicitly says that the length should be checked in case of future
  expansion.  It ought to specify what to do if the length is not 1.

As specified, this option could be used even if all advertised capabilities are in bits 0 through 7.
The router advertisement flags option should only be used if the router is advertising capabilities
that are assigned bit 8 or higher by IANA.

In my opinion, some MUST/MUST NOT language is needed.
