And it doesn't. Whether RFC 4941 is cited in this document or not doesn't
change the normative effects of this document, since it's only provided as
an example.

RFC 4291 is not just about stable addresses, it's about all addresses
(multicast, unicast, stable, unstable, manual, autoconfigured, random,
...). It says that "all unicast addresses [...][are] constructed in
modified EUI-64 format". That includes RFC 4941 privacy addresses, which
are in modified EUI-64 format (they set bit 6 to 0).
