Bob, Yes, I take your point. Maybe we can all close this thread now and you can decide what to put in the next draft.

"Unicast Addresses” there is more than one place where 64 IIDs are mentioned. This discusion has been about the forth paragraph in 2.4.1. "Interface Identifiers”. It is also mentioned in the second paragraph of 2.4.4. "Global Unicast Addresses”.
