Piggybacking on your note to Acee...

When I saw the revised prefixes I thought 'I wonder if the IANA
Considerations have been updated'!

The revision statement for the RFC-to-be needs the publication date, a
change which the RFC Editor is now well used to, and needs to say
"Initial Revision" in all the modules and  reference of "RFC XXXX: YANG 
Data Model for
DHCPv6 Configuration" i.e. the I-D current title; again, the RFC Editor
knows what to do with XXXX.

The description of 'typedef duid-base' looks corrupt.
