Hi,

Here are a few comments on this draft that I should have sent to the list
some time ago. If this was a Gen-ART review I'd say "Ready with nits".

>    The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
>    "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
>    document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

I don't care, but somebody will insist on the new boilerplate mentioning [RFC8174].

>    The term "global scope addresses" is used in this document to
>    collectively refer to "Global unicast addresses" as defined in
>    [RFC4291] and "Unique local addresses" as defined in [RFC4193].

...and not to "globally reachable" as defined in [RFC8190].

>    2.  The Interface Identifier is obtained by taking as many bits from

Maybe worth repeating that there are no special bits in an IID [RFC7136].

Regards
   Brian
