How about, IIDs are REQUIRED to be 64 bits unless overridden by an
IPv6-over-foo spec?

Because, it doesn't say IIDs are themselves required.  In fact it says "at
a minimum, a node may consider that unicast addresses (including its own)
have no internal structure". IIDs are just that internal structure of an
address, which is by that text is OPTIONAL.  Therefore, it is only saying
if you use an IID it must be 64 bits.

And I'd now suggest it should say, if you use an IID it must be 64 bits
unless overridden my an IPv6-over-foo spec.
