As you can in in the specs of AHCP, is does not need any topological
information. AHCP has to spread Data like prefix, DNS server ad NTP
server, so a routing protocol can start routing.

The specific usecase you are writing about is not existing, yet to be
implemented and would work perfect in given realworl AHCP szenario.

As you might have read, the configuration process with AHCP will start
stateless and might go into stateful for getting v4 adresses leases out
of a pool, after ipv6 routing is established.

the the "prefix allocation protocol" you want to have implemented should
be done on this manner, so the ability of runtime configuration of HNA6
prefixes should suffice.

Maybe, reading the AHCP specs helps.
