We come down to playing with terms.

I understand one might want to stay within the IID-64 square.

In that sense, the Variable SLAAC might also be driven towards a new
configuration mechanism where the IID is still 64 but some sub-IIDs and
sub-prefixes might act differently.  This new term 'Sub-IID' is made to
accommodate.

In that sense, yes, the problem of "Extending a /64" is a relevant
problem, even if one names it otherwise.

A name of the problem could also be "64-bound Extended Networking".
