I should add,

The IID length used by all SLAAC hosts on a link would be the same, because presumably, they all receive the same RAs. With the same RAs, their IIDs would have to come out to be the same length.

And, most of this change doesn't even apply to RFC 4862. For the most part, it applies to RFC 2464-bis. The main points of RFC 4862 remain the same.
