As I said, it looks to me like the ECMA specification for ProxyZzzz could
benefit from a clarification. I have passing familiarty with some
implementations, which don't require the modified EUI-64 in the IID of the
IPv6 address to correspond to the MAC address of the interface, and which
are capable of counting past one interface address per interface.

In this case, it's probably smart to look past what the ECMA specification
says, and pay attention to what the implementations actually do. It's the
implementations that actually get put in the test bench and hammered until
they work right.
