I agree with the procedural concerns here.  Among other things, if we make
substantial changes it's hard to claim we have experience running the new
thing we've documented.

I tend to think of IID concept's primary use as: if I have the IID
::dead:beef/64 then for every new /64 PIO that's announced *I* can
reasonably expect to lay claim to prefix1::dead:beef/64,
prefix2::dead:beef/64, and so on.  (Support for this mode operations,
SLAAC, is a MUST.)

I don't personally find any major conflict when considering static and
stateful addressing.  For example, if there are 2 prefixes on a link, and
the administrators are using static addressing then prefix1::cafe and
prefix2::cafe do not in any way have to belong to the same interface on the
same host. ... at least as far as I understand it.  If prefix1 and prefix2
are each longer than /64 then each 64bit IID would still be unique--no
problems.  But if each were <=64 then it's just violating a recommendation
in the first paragraph of 2.4.1--not a big deal for the administrator that
wants to run that way.

I'm not sure if this adds anything useful to the discussion, though.
