I think this may have been addressed in my response to Mark, but the intention is
that an IPv6 address that is independent of any of the node's physical interfaces
and that provides an identity for the node is the address that would go into the
DUID. [RFC7401][draft-ietf-drip-rid] are two examples where a valid IPv6 address
is generated and intended to provide an interface-independent, unique and long
lived identity for the node. Other examples may be defined in the future as well.

I was actually thinking that DUID-UUID would be a candidate surrogate DUID because
the body is exactly 128bits the same as for IPv6 addresses. But, by definition, UUIDs
are *not* IPv6 addresses since they do not observe the [RFC4291] address architecture.
Per your suggestion, a private enterprise number could be gotten (AERO also already
has one) and then use DUID-EN instead. But, then there would not be a standards
track specification guaranteeing that the holder of the private enterprise number
would consistently and forever always apply IPv6 address architecture semantics to
their application of the private enterprise number.

Hence, the proposal for DUID-V6ADDR. Or, if folks would prefer a different name
I could imagine alternatives such as DUID-IN6, DUID-IPV6, etc. Any preferences?

Thanks - Fred
