Please show me in RFC 2463 where general ICMP messages are allowed to carry
options.

RFC 2461 does define options for the specific case of neighbor discovery
ICMP messages, in Section 4.6. And, I believe the RtSolPr/PrRtAdv messages
are intended to be a subset of those messages.

So does RFC 2461 say that IETF concensus is required to assign option
numbers for ND options?
