It's the last paragraph of the EXAMPLES section that says:

     The following example presents the default values in an explicit 
manner.
     The configuration is provided just for reference purposes; YOU DO NOT
     NEED TO HAVE IT AT ALL.

     default:\
             :chlim#64:raflags#0:rltime#1800:rtime#0:retrans#0:\
             :pinfoflags="la":vltime#2592000:pltime#604800:mtu#0:
     ef0:\
             :addr="3ffe:501:ffff:1000::":prefixlen#64:tc=default

 From this, it seems *as if* specifying a different pltime and vltime 
would have some effect.  I guess it should be made clear that changing 
those variables without corresponding addr directives won't do anything.

Cheers,
Eugene
