The last paragraph of section "2.5.1 Interface identifiers" in 4291 said:

   The details of forming interface identifiers are defined in the
   appropriate "IPv6 over <link>" specification, such as "IPv6 over
   Ethernet" [ETHER], and "IPv6 over FDDI" [FDDI].

The corresponding paragraph in rfc4291bis is:

   The details of forming interface identifiers are defined in other
   specifications, such as "Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address
   Autoconfiguration in IPv6" [RFC4941] or "A Method for Generating
   Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address
   Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)"[RFC7217].  Specific cases are described in
   appropriate "IPv6 over <link>" specifications, such as "IPv6 over
   Ethernet" [RFC2464] and "Transmission of IPv6 Packets over ITU-T
   G.9959 Networks" [RFC7428].  The security and privacy considerations
   for IPv6 address generation is described in [RFC7721].

Don't you agree with that?
