Okay, I will write something if there is further support.
Should it update or replace RFC5737?

I guess L=1 is why you call it ULA-L. I have known it as ULA-Random.
We are both talking about RFC4193 though.  So such a document would need to
update RFC4193.

I'm not sure that I agree.
I don't see why we need to be so stingy about Documentation Prefixes in IPv6.
Using part of 3ffe::/16 would appeal to me.
