I do see your point but I do not feel it is equivalent to classful
addressing in IPv4. i.e. Looking at the leading X bits does not
directly determine the IID length.

That said, I would like to understand better your exact concern with
the text in 2.4.4. What exactly would you like to change (is it the
m-bit verbiage)? Can you come up with a text change proposal so that
we can discuss it in the 6man WG?

Thanks
Suresh

and is in AD evaluation. Brian did his INT Dir review for the INT ADs.
The IETF Last Call will start soon.
