Strange that this draft requests reserving 64 0 rightmost bits of an 
address to be 'subnet router anycast' referring to rfc4291 because:

-rfc4291 uses 'subnet-router' instead  of 'subnet router'.
-rfc5156.txt uses all 128 0 bits to mean 'default unicast route'.  This
  may imply a default unicast route address contains a IPv6 Interface
  Identifier (the one used in the subnet-router anycast address).

I think this could be clarified.
