OK, so maybe make it clearer that it is out of scope, as I was expecting to find some comment about it, and I could not. >> and then also the how that might be added to the DNS. I’m not sure either is stated explicitly at the moment. >> >> I recall ietf-dhc-addr-notification originally included DNS registration, but the current version removed that? > > Yes, the dhc-addr-notification doesn't say anything about DNS.

Yes, I agree that’s a more general “problem” anyway. But we do frequently have campus admins asking how they get host entries into the DNS with SLAAC, so it’s a FAQ.
