Three people have now mailed me privately saying that DAD does not
provide a way to select a second address if your first choice is not
in use.
What I am basically suggesting is to use the same method in RFC 3041 as
the default way to get an address. That is the protocol is already
defined and deployed, it's just today it's used for a second (third,
fourth, ...) address.
