How does the device ask for a *second* DHCPv6'ed address for tethering or
whatever?
RFC 3315 says you just chuck in multiple IA_NA (or IA_TA) options. The
server will respond with multiple addresses.

And if a device makes a second (, third, fourth, ..) request with a
different DUID, it'll get a second (,third, fourth,...) address oo, I
guess.



Wouldn't the right thing to do is have the provider support dhcp prefix delegation, and the tether can run
dhcp for its clients? (or even slaac?)
