Agreed. And I think there are actually two things to say here:

3.1. Any IPv6-over-foo spec must specify a recommended IID length.
3.2. In the absence of such a spec, the recommended IID length is 64 bits.

Again, that breaks no running code, and it respects the architectural
statement that prefix_length + IID_length == 128, and the use of CIDR
routing and variable-length subnet masks.
