RFC4941 by itself does the trick.

But draft-gont-6man-managing-privacy-extensions (the subject of
this thread) says "you can't use RFC4941".

I'm saying the reasons people are tempted to disable RFC4941 are
misplaced.  Really, they want the same tracking of 
which-host-is-using-which-address that they have, today, with
DHCPv4 (by examining the DHCP server's logs) and have, today,
with DHCPv6 (by examining the DHCPv6 server's logs).  Thus the
desire to simply throw away RFC4941 (sorry, "disable on this 
network") is misplaced.  We should devote our energies 
elsewhere and provide the means to log use of a SLAAC address.
