The former prefix is autonomously generated by the HOMENET router in the Leader role, whereas the latter are delegated by exterior numbering authorities outside the HOMENET domain, and they are just like any other globally scoped IPv6 network prefix.

There is no intent to prevent that at all. And I totally agree with you that ULAs are just prefixes like other.
The last paragraph I put here is just a reminder that, exactly as you want, you can have has many ULA prefixes as you want when they are provided by the mean of the two first points of section 4.3.

   o  It can be dynamically delegated, for instance using DHCPv6 PD.

   o  It can be created statically, specified in router's configuration.


The first point is what you want. "delegated by exterior numbering authorities outside the HOMENET" perfectly fits to the first point.
I mean, it can be using DHCP-PD, netconf, static conf, or any other means.

It’s funny cause it looks like adding that last paragraph, that intended to clarify, i making it less clear.

But I’m going to change it and making it more clear that authorities can provide their own prefixes. Even ULAs.

Cheers
