My understanding is that the server always provides a fully specified 128-bit IPv6 address.

If we ever want to just assign prefixes, we always can define a new option for that purpose.

We have gone back and forth on this.  I am assuming we are now at the
state where you use it as-is?  I believe that was consensus of last round?
If we don't do this it gets too complicated to finish this spec for last
call.  In the future we can extend address types and scenarios.
