Isn't there a conflict with RFC 6052, though?

E.g., if you're using an RFC 6052 NSP such as 2001:db8:6052::/96, the
IPv4-translatable representation of an IPv4 subnet such as 192.0.2.0/24
would be 2001:db8:6052::192.0.2.0/120 (2001:db8:6052::c000:200/120) and
nodes in this subnet/link would necessarily have 8 bit long IIDs. Right?
