Hi Ted,
   I have read the draft and I am supportive of the problem this draft 
is trying to solve (i.e. allow host generated IIDs). But, the mechanism 
proposed in the draft is a bit unclear for me to say whether this is the 
best way to solve the solution or not. In particular, the semantics of 
the IA_PA are not detailed very well. e.g. How exactly is this different 
from an IA_PD with a 64 bit prefix? Can a prefix inside a IA_PA be 
shared across multiple clients etc.

Thanks
Suresh
