If, on the other hand, the REAL desire is to have a DHCP server break
the tie in the selection between several routers that advertise their

The RA contains a preference level... maybe that doesn't cut it if
multiple routers are sending the same preference level, but presumably
that would not happen in a well-tended network.

        I point you to a fairly common Internet architecture artifact,
        the exchange point...  dozens of routers sharing a common
        media for peering exchange.

And you want to use router advertisments for assigning addresses for them? Huh!
